Travel

  • All university-sponsored travel (international and domestic) is suspended indefinitely. This includes new travel as well as any currently booked trips.
  • A waiver may be requested for essential international travel for a traveler on an approved international assignment to return to the U.S. or their home country. Requests should be directed via email to oihs@msu.edu. Policies for future incoming and outbound travel are under development and will be shared as they are approved.
  • A waiver is required for domestic business essential travel; it can only be granted by the provost, a vice president or the president through the COVID-19 Domestic Travel Waiver Application form and must be approved before a trip begins. In-state travel is permitted to perform one’s essential job duties, but also requires submitting the form. Non-essential in-state travel to state conferences or other gatherings should not occur.
