As a globally-engaged institution, Cornell encourages its students, faculty, and staff to pursue academic opportunities around the world. While there is an inherent risk associated with all travel, certain regions of the world call for heightened caution and additional preparation to ensure the health, safety, and security of the Cornell community.

Cornell's International Travel Advisory and Response Team - ITART

Cornell's International Travel Advisory and Response Team (ITART) reviews the health, safety, and security situation in all elevated-risk destinations using various intelligence sources including International SOS, the U.S. State Department, the CDC, and experts in the Cornell community.  Cornell community members required to petition ITART for approval to travel to an elevated-risk destination can do so via Cornell's Travel Registry (the application is built into the Registry process).

ITART has two main functions:

1. to advise travelers and consider requests for exceptions to the International Travel Policy prior to international travel; and 
2. to respond, in conjunction with International SOS, to international emergency situations.
