International Travel Ban Lifted as of November 8, 2021

International Travel Ban Lifted Effective Nov. 8, 2021, employee, guest, graduate student, and undergraduate international travel is no longer restricted to essential activities and an exemption form is no longer needed. Employees, guests, graduate students, and undergraduates traveling internationally for business purposes should follow existing travel policy. The Concur online travel booking function is available for self-booking of international air, lodging, and car rental. All international travel should follow current campus health protocols as well as CDC International Travel Guidance. It is recommended that individuals delay university-sponsored international travel until fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Travelers should pay close attention to country-specific vaccination and testing requirements, as these may vary and are modified regularly. The university highly recommends employees traveling internationally on university business enroll in the UW System international health, medical, and evacuation insurance through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI). Starting Jan. 1, 2022, CISI will be required for all employees traveling abroad for university purposes. For more information on this requirement, see the CISI Insurance enrollment and reimbursement memo, issued November 1, 2021. Enrollment in CISI is already required for all students traveling abroad – undergraduates, graduates, and professional students – regardless of their program of study or academic standing. Enrollment in CISI is not available for personal travel. Reach out to Kelly Layton (kelly.layton@wisc.edu) with any questions.
