High Risk Travel Destinations
High Risk Travel includes international destinations that are posted to the U.S. DOS as a Travel Advisory Level 3 or Level 4, and/or a CDC Travel Health Notice Level 2 or Level 3, and/or that are deemed as posing a significant health, safety, or security risk to the traveler through advisories from International SOS.
Traveler Requirements
Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Medical Students
- All undergraduate, graduate, or medical students travel to a destination with a High Risk Travel classification must be reviewed and approved by the Global Travel Risk Assessment Committee (GTRAC). To obtain GTRAC review, student travelers are required to complete a Safety Plan.
- No undergraduate student, graduate student, or medical student will be required to travel to a High Risk Travel destination as part of a for-credit or noncredit program.
- Students traveling to a non-High Risk destination are not required to complete a Safety Plan but must download the International SOS Assistance App and review relevant travel advisories to their destination.
- All international travel plans must be registered in TravelSafe regardless of risk level.
Faculty and Staff
- Faculty and staff traveling to a Brown High-Risk destination that includes a war risk exclusion under Brown’s Travel Abroad Accident and Sickness Insurance are required to submit a Safety Plan for GTRAC review and purchase a war risk rider to reinstate restricted insurance coverage.
- Faculty and staff traveling to a Brown High-Risk destination without war risk exclusions are strongly encouraged to complete a Safety Plan.
- All international travel plans must be registered in TravelSafe regardless of risk level.
