Travel Updates

Study Abroad & COVID-19 Update - March 4, 2021

Today, the University of Nebraska at Omaha is announcing an extension of restrictions on university-related international travel through June 30, 2021.

Guidance discouraging university-sponsored international travel for UNO students, faculty and staff will be extended through June 30, 2021. As a member of the University of Nebraska system, UNO adheres to the University of Nebraska President's Executive Memorandum No. 25, which follows guidance by the CDC and U.S. Department of State.

Currently, both the CDC and U.S. Department of State strongly recommend avoiding all nonessential international travel and stand at Level 3 and Level 4 advisories, for many countries around the world.

Future updates to the current University-related travel policies for domestic and international travel will be communicated through the necessary channels as information is made available.

Staying Informed

Students are encouraged to register for the STEP program so you receive the latest news and alerts from the US Embassy or Consulate located in your host country. Additionally, students should consult the CDC website for the most up-to-date information regarding enhanced screening procedures.

At some point you may experience closings of public offices and administration, cancellations or large gatherings, and precautionary measures during travel. We urge students traveling to follow the health and safety guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO).

WHO COVID-19 Information

Prior to traveling, students need to check with airlines regarding any flight cancellations and/or restrictions on flying.

AIG Insurance

Students, participants, faculty, and staff on university-sponsored travel have Medical and Security insurance through AIG Travel Guard or ISEP. These insurance providers have extensive up-to-date information on their websites and are available 24/7 should you have any concerns.

To access the AIG portal for travel news and worldwide information, go to aig.com/us/travelguardassistance. You will need your AIG policy number to create a profile, if you have not already. You will be able to access current country-specific and health information. If a student is studying abroad through ISEP, please check with ISEP’s insurance information and resources.

For updates and additional information, please monitor the WHO and CDC webpages on COVID-19.

Questions or concerns about current or future planned university-sponsored international travel can be sent to unostudyabroad@unomaha.edu.
