We take the safety of our students, faculty and staff very seriously. Before you travel or consider traveling, it is your responsibility to review and understand the potential risks involved. 

International Travel Policy & ITRC

Under the Policy for Travel to University Travel Advisory Countries all students, undergraduate and graduate, must check the W&M Travel Risk Rating below for each country prior to engaging in international travel to see if the destination is restricted or if there is a W&M Advisory that requires and application and further review by the International Travel Review Committee (ITRC).

W&M Travel Risk Warnings

Below is a list of countries (in alphabetical order), that are under W&M warning or alert. When you click on a country name, a drop-down menu will appear showing links to any alerts or warnings from the U.S. State Department and/or Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We try to keep this information as up-to-date as possible, but for the most current information and health advice, visit the U.S. State Department and Centers for Disease Control websites. 

Countries designated as W&M advisory only take into account health and safety conditions, not entry requirements.

Please Note: William & Mary is not responsible for additional costs associated with quarantining overseas.

The ITRC has reviewed all the countries and through careful vetting, faculty input, U.S. and other government resources and security provider analysis has determined that the following destinations merit a W&M travel advisory. The ITRC reserves the right to add or remove a country from this list based on a regularly monthly review or more frequently should circumstances dictate.
