Student Restricted Regions Requests

In addition to registration and insurance requirements of the UT Student Travel Policy to International Locations, all students proposing travel to any location on the Restricted Regions List must obtain approval from the International Oversight Committee (IOC) by submitting a completed Restricted Regions Travel Request form.

All student forms must be signed by the chair of their department or by another internally designated individual with departmental authority to approve Restricted Regions requests. 

View the current list of UT Austin Deans and Chairs.

All request forms must be typed, with the exception of the signature line. The IOC may decline to review a request if it is not typed.

Request Process

Complete all of the following components of the request package and submit to grs@austin.utexas.edu:

• Restricted Regions Travel Request - Student Form (FORM MUST BE TYPED)
• Signed Release and Indemnification Agreement (included at end of Travel Request form)

The IOC retains the right to withdraw one's travel authorization, withhold reimbursement and/or take other disciplinary actions if necessary for noncompliance with the UT Travel Policy.
