Planning to travel internationally for work or vacation? The University of Iowa created a new resource to assist the campus community. This guide provides detailed instructions on the use of university systems and institutional technology while abroad and links to other key information you’ll need for your trip. 

As global travel becomes increasingly regulated, it is imperative for travelers to stay informed and compliant with applicable laws, federal regulations, and internal policies. The guidelines serve several essential purposes: ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, emphasizing the importance of data privacy and security, and managing potential risks associated with international travel. 

The university is communicating this information broadly across campus and encourages everyone to spread the word within their areas. Compliance with these guidelines is crucial to safeguard the university's interests and ensure a smooth and secure travel experience for all. Travelers with questions are advised to consult with their supervisor or human resources representative. 

Stay informed and travel safely!
