International Travel Policy
The University of Hartford is
committed to providing a broad
spectrum of international
experiences for our students,
faculty, and staff. We strongly
encourage study abroad in
University- approved programs,
participation in other credit
and non-credit international
experiences, and faculty
international research. At the
same time, in the face of the
safety risks in the world today,
we are also committed to
protecting the health and safety
of students, faculty, and staff
when they journey outside the
borders of the United States.
We strongly recommend that
before traveling to any part of
the world, faculty, students,
staff, and other members of the
University community
(hereinafter referred to as
“others”) familiarize themselves
with the
U.S.
Department of State
website , paying particular
attention to the “Current Travel
Warnings” section which lists
countries and regions about
which the U.S. Government has
serious concerns for American
travelers, and the “Public
Announcements” section which
articulates health and safety
issues in various countries or
regions. Although the University
of Hartford does not prohibit
travel to countries for which
“Public Announcements” have been
issued by the State Department,
we urge all travelers to
consider seriously the risks in
visiting such locales.
It is the responsibility of the
individual traveler to consult
the State Department website to
obtain current information about
the health and safety conditions
of the proposed destination.
Before traveling abroad on
university programs and
business- faculty, students, and
staff must read the new
University of Hartford Policy
Related to State Department
Travel Warnings and
