17.J Travel Warnings

Travel warnings (to avoid travel in certain countries), Consular Information Sheets (guidelines for every country), and public announcements (e.g., terrorist threats) are available online at the U.S. Department of State travel website <www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1765.html> or by calling Overseas Citizens Services at (888) 407-4747 or by calling (202) 501-4444 from overseas. It is important for U.S. citizens traveling in a remote location where there has been political unrest to know the location of the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

The UM International Travel Oversight Committee monitors health and safety conditions in sites abroad, both where the University has ongoing programs and where individuals may be traveling on University-related business. In addition, the Committee reviews safety, health, and logistical arrangements for existing and proposed study abroad programs and other international group activities. For more information, see the International Travel Information and Registry website at <www.umich.edu/~itoc/index.html> or, for non-emergency concerns, call 764-4311.
