This request is open to faculty and staff.

Each request is carefully reviewed and considered, and not all requests are approved. Once your petition has been received, we will ensure that it is complete and reviewed by the International Risk Management Committee. The committee reserves the right to request additional information from an applicant. You can direct questions to itr@utk.edu. Travel should not commence until the petition has been reviewed and approved.

The changing nature of events abroad and revisions in the US Department of State’s or CDC Advisories/Warnings/Alerts may require additional reviews before and/or during travel.
