Short-Term Travel Component Application

This application should be submitted to CIIS by September 30th for spring semester components and by February 5th for fall semester components. Travel components may occur immediately prior to the beginning of the course, during mid-semester breaks, and immediately after the course. 

Before submitting this application, you should check the website for the Centers for Disease Control and consult with the student health center staff regarding any activity or destination which might entail unusual health concerns. Additional consultation with the State Department Travel Advisory system, or other offices on campus may be needed for international travel and components where specific skills or safety measures are needed. 

Before submitting your application, please consult the Guidelines and Best Practices  page for how to prepare a safe and secure itinerary for students. 

The CIIS Committee will review all applications on the basis of feasibility, intercultural learning benefits, and safety and security. Funding is limited and will be awarded to promote off-campus experiences for students across the curriculum.

Faculty and Staff are encouraged to meet with the Associate Dean of International and Intercultural Studies in advance of their application.
