The offices of Travel, Risk Management, Study Abroad, and Research would like to remind you of the International Travel Policy. Chapter 4 of the Travel Policy posted here, for the upcoming academic year.
As always, please keep in mind that if you are traveling internationally for work for any reason, whether you are requesting reimbursement of not, you must register your travel both in Chrome River and Terra Dotta in advance of that travel. You can access both applications in the travel tools section of myballstate.bsu.edu. As always, register at least one week before the scheduled departure for all travel to Department of State (DoS) designated Level 1 or Level 2 countries. However, for Level 3 travel, we ask that you enter your travel as soon as you are aware it is occurring, as long as it is prior to travel and leaves time for review. We have also moved to an administrative review of Level 3 travel, which will speed approvals for you as you plan your trip!
Furthermore, if you will be traveling to a Level 3 area with students, please review this process carefully. You'll want to request travel approval at the time you are proposing your study abroad program through the Office of Study Abroad. If you are traveling with students but it is not through a Study Abroad program, please ensure you both that in your Terra Dotta application.
For more information regarding international travel, please reach out with questions to slsimondack@bsu.edu.
