To receive this service all UF students, faculty and staff traveling outside the US on official university business must complete an Online Travel Registration.
International Travel Screening and Visitor Policy
If you plan to travel abroad, please review the UF Travel webpage for travel policy information and updates on new state requirements. If you are traveling with a UF-owned item (e.g. your UF-owned laptop, tablet, or hard drive), visit the myAssets Portal to submit a foreign travel request prior to departure.
If you plan to host collaborators or visitors from abroad, or host foreign nationals, please review the UF Visitor Policy to ensure compliance with U.S. export controls, trade sanctions, embargoes and state statute. Additional information on the UF Visitor review process can be located on the International Scholar Visit webpage.
Travelers' Health
The Center for Disease Control keeps the public informed about potential health issues in specific destinations in addition to Immunization requirements and recommendation for country or countries you plan to visit. If you need immunization shots before traveling, you can get them at UF Travel clinic, which also provides individualized travel counseling and immunizations specific to your itinerary. You can also contact the Alachua County Health Department for general information concerning immunization requirements for any country, as well as for the Immunization Clinic hours.
