Additional notes regarding travel: Graduate students can travel to Level 1 and 2 countries (US State Department Travel Warning Levels, as well as CDC Health Notices) without any additional steps, and if they wish to travel to a Level 3 country, they need to submit a Travel Warning Waiver Petition. Graduate students want to travel to any countries classified as Level 4 by the State Department (“Do Not Travel”), they also must petition for approval.
