Travel to Higher Risk Locations:  

Certain locations are considered higher risk, and the reasons for this designation range from high rates of violent crime to disease outbreaks. For those registering travel to a higher-risk location, U of A International Travel will email the traveler asking for Supplemental Travel Information prior to submitting the travel for review by the university's International Travel Safety Committee (ITSC). Additionally, U of A International Travel will reach out to the traveler's academic department to seek confirmation as to whether this travel is deemed “essential.”
