Travel Guidance
Guidelines and policies may be updated or revised as warranted by local or national conditions.
Guidelines for Individual Travel (Personal or University-Sponsored)
- There are no travel restrictions currently in place.
- Testing for COVID-19 is not required pre-travel, unless required by the destination (conference, foreign country, etc.)
- Follow CDC Guidelines for all domestic and international travel, as well as the local public health authorities of your travel destination.
Guidelines for University-Sponsored Group Travel
- Testing for COVID-19 is not required by UP pre-travel (unless required by the destination) or post-travel.
- Each trip participant is required to be fully vaccinated (including boosters, if eligible) and should do a symptom check before departure.
- Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms should not participate in the travel (regardless of whether they have tested positive or not.)
- Trip leaders may pick up rapid test kits for up to 20% (1/5) of the total number of participants, for use during travel in case anyone develops symptoms while on the trip. Any unused tests should be returned to Campus Safety.
- Trip leaders will need to pre-order these tests by emailing Campus Safety at campussafety@up.edu. Please include the following information in your email:
-
All travel organizers should develop a contingency plan for the possibility that a participant will develop COVID-19 symptoms during the trip. For example, is isolation space available? If flying, what will happen if someone develops COVID-19 symptoms and/or tests positive and cannot return to Portland with the group?
