Faculty/Staff International Travel with Students

International Travel

× As you prepare for your travel, it is imperative that you consider whether or not you will be able to obtain a passport or visa if necessary, whether or not the proposed destination will allow entry, and whether or not a return to the U.S. will be permitted.

Information for Faculty & Staff Traveling with Students

Staff and faculty traveling internationally with students on non-course related trips have the additional requirement of completing the International Travel Proposal and a Faculty or Staff-Led (whichever applies) Student International Travel Request.

OIP will also assist faculty and staff with collecting the required documentation from student travelers in accordance with Chapter 13 of the UT Tyler Manual of Policies and Procedures (MOPP).

Required Forms

UT Tyler faculty and staff planning to travel internationally must submit certain forms for travel approval prior to the expected travel. Below is a list of links to all individual faculty/staff international travel forms that must be submitted through DocuSign. 

  • International Travel Proposal (Available upon request)
  • Administrative and Professional Travel Request
  • Faculty International Travel Request
  • Staff International Travel Request
