International Travel Restrictions Extended
Restrictions on university-related international travel have been extended through Jan. 10, 2021. University-related domestic travel can continue under existing guidance.
- published: 2020/10/30
In June, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) announced that university-related domestic travel would resume beginning July 1, but that university-related international travel would remain restricted.
Today, UNO is announcing an extension of restrictions on university-related international travel through Jan. 10, 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.
Study abroad planning is continuing for Spring and Summer 2021, however, travel is contingent upon relaxed CDC and U.S. Department of State travel guidance. Contact unostudyabroad@unomaha.edu for travel status updates.
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.
