From Global Programs and Strategic Alliance (GPS): there has been a change to the University Travel Policy, which now requires pre-travel registration of all staff/faculty international travel for University purposes. Staff and faculty are required to register international travel as of January 1, 2012.
Visit http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Travel/TRAVEL_PROC04.html to register your travel. Although it is a REQUIREMENT to register international travel, GPS reports that the updated policy will make it easier and more efficient to provide travelers with helpful information prior to departure, and to provide travelers with prompt assistance overseas should circumstances demand it. The full policy on travel is available at: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Travel/TRAVEL.html. Please feel free to contact Colleen with any questions.
