Employee international travel resumes under normal procedures
Effective immediately, ISU-sponsored employee international travel no longer will be subject to special pandemic travel requirements. Under previous interim guidance, all international travel was considered high-risk. Due to the pandemic, many destinations continue to be high-risk, and all high-risk travel requires an itinerary review by our office.
Click below for additional information, including changes to the international travel agreement and where to find destination risk ratings.

International travel - we can help |
|
International travel during the pandemic has proved challenging. Our office has helped travelers navigate the web of various travel restrictions, testing and vaccination requirements, quarantine mandates, and more. Over a dozen faculty and staff successfully traveled this summer, and the university is preparing to send students to more than a dozen study abroad programs this fall.
Travel during the pandemic continues to be extraordinarily complicated, and travelers are encouraged to take advantage of itinerary reviews and other resources for all destinations, regardless of risk level. ORM can help with:
- Personalized itinerary reviews (all risk ratings) and risk assessments.
- Destination-specific recommendations regarding sensitive/political content on your devices and social media.
- Advice if circumstances have changed or if you have questions about whether you should cancel or reschedule a trip.
- Access to online tools to research conditions in your destination.
Contact Shaun Jamieson at intlrisk@iastate.edu or 515-294-6916 if you have questions or to schedule a consultation.
