International Travel Restrictions Extended

On March 4, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) announced an extension of restrictions on university-related international travel through June 30, 2021.

Please note that university-related domestic travel can continue under existing guidance:

• Any proposed exceptions for University-related travel will need to be approved in advance by the responsible Vice Chancellor or Senior Vice Chancellor.

• Personal international travel is highly discouraged.

• Personal domestic travel should be carefully considered. COVID-19 cases and deaths have been reported in all 50 states, and the situation is constantly changing. Because travel increases your chances of getting infected and spreading COVID-19, staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick.

• All faculty, staff, and students returning to UNO’s campus after travel within Nebraska or any other U.S. state should self-monitor using the 1-Check UNO app, which is currently available on iOS, Android, and online.

• University-related domestic travel should be carefully considered and should be limited to essential travel. For business travel within the U.S., travel will need to be approved in advance by the responsible Vice Chancellor or Senior Vice Chancellor.

• 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.
