_______________________________________________________________________________

As we transition away from campus masking and testing requirements, we are also updating our campus travel guidance.

1.  In-state travel will continue to be processed per normal, pre-pandemic processing.  Supervisor approval per department process should be obtained prior to traveling and a Travel Expense Report (TER) completed upon return.  No additional travel request form required.

2.  Out-of-state travel will be processed per normal, pre-pandemic processing.  Supervisor approval per department process should be obtained prior to traveling and a Travel Expense Report (TER) completed upon return.  No additional travel request form required.

3.  International travel will require divisional VC approval, except for Study Abroad programs.  This documented approval will then be attached to the electronic Travel Authorization (TA) request and processed through the e-Reimbursement module. UWSP will follow Department of State travel advisory guidelines.

4.  UWSP will follow CDC guidance for international students arriving to the university.

To assist with department approval processes, included is a Travel Plan template that can be used to provide additional details regarding travel plans.
