Employees wishing to travel internationally must register their University-affiliated travel with the Travel Safety Network at least 30 days in advance or as soon as possible once travel is planned. All employees wishing to travel should first review the list of restricted countries, which includes countries restricted for security and regulatory reasons and also countries with a CDC Level 4 or Unknown COVID-19 Travel Health Notice. This list will be reviewed periodically and is subject to change. Additional forms, review and approval are required for travel to restricted countries.

 

Employees must receive approval for travel to restricted countries prior to purchasing airline tickets, hotel accommodations, etc. Travelers should arrange any necessary air travel through Anthony Travel, Penn State’s preferred travel agency, unless not possible to do so.
