Travel Guidance
Last modified date: Feb. 7, 2022
Travel reporting is being discontinued
The use of travel forms is no longer necessary for personal travel for fully vaccinated individuals. While there are no longer COVID-19-related restrictions on domestic University-sponsored travel, budgetary restrictions may apply. All domestic University-sponsored travel requires preapproval from your department. In addition, all international University-sponsored travel must be registered at least two weeks in advance in the UMass Travel Registry, reviewed by International Support Services and in some instances by the Provost.
Following guidance from the CDC for unvaccinated people, if you have obtained a medical or religious exemption for the COVID-19 vaccine and plan to travel internationally, you must email theresa.kane@umassmed.edu prior to travel and quarantine upon your return. Following international travel, a COVID-19 test 3 – 5 days after return is recommended.
