Pursuant to the University Policies and Procedures: UPP 1-18: Policy on Marquette University Sponsored International Travel , faculty and staff traveling internationally must adhere to the following guidelines.

Faculty and Staff Traveling Internationally

All faculty and staff traveling internationally for the purposes of research, teaching, conferences, service, recruiting, site visits or other objectives under the auspices of Marquette must complete the MU Faculty and Staff Travel Registration. This is not to be used for purely personal travel or vacations. However, if you will be traveling abroad for personal reasons and are taking a computer or other equipment, materials, software or data abroad, you must complete the Export Control Exemption Certification on the Export Controls and Compliance page.

The information you provide on the MU Faculty and Staff Travel Registration will be used to assist you and/or contact you in the event of an emergency.

• Dean/VP Review: Upon submission of your travel registration, email notification will be sent to your Dean or Vice-President seeking final approval of your travel.
• OIE Review: On behalf of the Provost, the Office of International Education will review for risk, as well as the general safety and security of the destination country based on governmental and non-governmental recommendations and advisories.  If necessary, further consultation will be made with the Office of General Counsel. When a significant risk is present in the travel destination(s), OIE will share all travel alerts and safety cautions with you and provide a recommendation on whether to proceed with travel.
• Fly America Act: If travel will be funded by a U.S. federal grant, please be sure to follow Fly America rules. Contact postaward@marquette.edu with any questions.
• Export Controls: If you will be taking a computer or other equipment, materials, software or data abroad, you must refer to and comply with all Export Control regulations.  See the export controls and compliance website for more information.
