International Travel Advice

 

The conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic closure of airspace across the Middle East.  There is the potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.  The Department of State is advising U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution. 

The UF International Center is monitoring the situation and recommends that all travelers review State Department Travel Advisory country information for their planned destinations.

We will pass along any updates we receive through official channels; we want to ensure that the UF community experiences safe and secure travel and study abroad.
