Travel Restrictions

Students should monitor the State Department and MEDEX Web sites for up-to-date information about countries where travel for Yale undergraduates may be restricted.

Note that Yale will not fund, award credit for, or otherwise sponsor or support any international undergraduate academic or extracurricular project in any country for which:

1. the U.S. State Department has issued a warning or alert that explicitly “orders departure of U.S. dependents and non-emergency personnel”; “recommends that U.S. citizens depart the country”; “advises U.S. citizens against all travel to the country”; or “recommends that U.S. citizens defer non-essential travel to the country”,
   
   or
2. the travel assistance organization MEDEX has rated the country a “5” (very high) level threat.

No exceptions to this policy will be made.
