International Travel Policy

Policy Summary

A global perspective is essential to the academic mission of the George Washington University (“GW” or “university”) and the university has long supported international travel to conduct research, study cultures and languages, promote collaboration with peer institutions, represent the university, and for other academic, administrative, research and sanctioned student activities. This policy promotes travel safety for GW students, faculty, and staff, providing a framework for reducing the risk of harm to GW travelers and enhancing GW’s ability to support travelers while abroad.

Any student, faculty, or staff member proposing to undertake GW-supported or GW-related international travel must seek and receive the appropriate approval as described below, and adhere to GW’s insurance, travel security, and related requirements.
