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.
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. Required travel insurance and basic information about travel liability may be found here: https://risk.controller.vt.edu/vi/international.html
