International Travel:  

• Approved travel may be modified based upon CDC guidance or U.S. State Department advisories. 
• All University guidelines must continue to be followed including Procedure 2008 International Travel. 
• Planned international travel is not reimbursable by Stockton University if cancelled for any reason. We highly suggest students and employees purchase insurance or fully refundable tickets on their own behalf. 
• Once a travel request is approved by Divisional Executive, the Director of the Office of Global Engagement (OGE) and Senior International Officer (SIO) for the University will work with relevant offices on approval and guidelines specific to international destination(s). This may also include CDC guidance for international travel or U.S. State Department advisories in addition to the normal criteria used to approve international travel. 
• All domestic travel procedures/policies listed above also apply to international travel. 
• The CDC, NJDOH and U.S. State Department offer webpages dedicated to travel. 
• Existing policies, procedures and processes regarding international travel and approval decisions based on State Department risk levels continue to apply with additional reliance on COVID-specific travel information. 
• The Office of Global Engagement’s webpage includes relevant information for approved travelers including the most recent off campus travel emergency guide. 
• All approved international travelers are required to carry insurance through coordination with the Office of Global Engagement (OGE).  
• If the University approves international travel for work-related purposes and a traveler is unable to reenter the country due to COVID-19 specific reasons, if they followed all University and local guidelines during travel, the University will bear expenses related to COVID-specific travel requirements or interruptions (e.g., testing, quarantines) consistent with Procedure 6412 until they are allowed reentry into the U.S. This also applies to students traveling on faculty-led programs (FLPs). 
• All faculty, staff and students who are approved for international travel are required to comply with the COVID-19 health and safety protocols in effect during travel and at the international destination.  

Study Abroad: 

• The Director of the Office of Global Engagement (OGE) and Senior International Officer (SIO) for the University, will, under the direction of the Office of the Provost, continue to work with students and relevant offices for guidelines specific to individual countries and/or programs for study abroad.
