Travel to Elevated Risk Designated Country
The U.S. Department of State has a travel advisory scale which designates the risk level of each country according to four levels. The scale embeds varying levels for specific regions of a country and/or for specific types of risk indicators. Access Details on the Scale
Travel to destinations with Department of State travel advisory levels 3 and 4 is prohibited.
All student travel officially organized, sponsored, or funded by the University to countries and/or regions with an overall Department of State travel advisory of Level 3 ("Reconsider Travel") or Level 4 ("Do Not Travel") is strictly prohibited. Students may not petition to travel or request exceptions for Level 3 or Level 4 travel advisories.
- Travel risk is evaluated based on the highest U.S. Department of State advisory level assigned to any country, state, province, city, or region included in the proposed itinerary (including transit and side trips).
- Xavier University strictly prohibits student international travel to, within, or through any nation, state, province, municipality, or sub-region designated as Level 3 ("Reconsider Travel") or Level 4 ("Do Not Travel") by the U.S. Department of State.
Noncompliance
Failure to adhere to this policy may jeopardize the University's ability to provide emergency services and could result in disciplinary action. Students will be referred to the Dean of Students.
