The following announcement comes from the Global Programs and Strategy Alliance:
As many of you know, 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. The policy is available at: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Finance/Travel/TRAVEL.html. Staff and faculty are required to register international travel as of January 1, 2012.
Please note that there is no travel approval process associated with this policy. Any travel approval requirement is still managed within the departments, units or colleges.
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.
