International Travel Forms, Requirements and Procedures

CEE Faculty members may contact Lindy Cranwell, lindycra@vt.edu, for help and planning of international travel and programs.

Employees Traveling Abroad

In CEE, faculty and staff should work with their respective program administration staff to process a travel approval well in advance of travel and according to deadlines by the university (see procedure on registering international travel). If you are traveling on short-notice, please email Allie Oberoi vtglobalsafety@vt.edu in addition to processing the TA. Your program area administrator can help with the travel approval system.
