Higher Risk Travel Petition Application Steps
For any university-sponsored international travel happening overseas, the following process takes place:
- Traveler submits their travel request in Concur
- Following supervisory and financial approvals, the Director of Global Safety and Security will inform the traveler if their destination is considered higher risk
- Informed travelers submit an online travel petition, to be reviewed by the International Travel Review Committee (ITRC)
- ITRC will forward the petition on to the Chancellor’s Office with a “recommended” or “not recommended” classification
- Chancellor approves or denies the petition, and cleared travel will receive final approval through Concur
