Teach Abroad Opportunities 

Travel Warnings

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is committed to providing a broad spectrum of international experiences to the UWEC and UWEC-BC community while at the same time supporting the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff traveling abroad. In order to balance these two priorities, the Travel Advisory Resource and Policy has been developed to provide a consistent set of resources and guidelines to university travelers. See the U.S. State Department Travel Advisories and Center for Disease Control warning system, which inform decisions on international travel for students and faculty/staff. Under the policy, student travel to countries under U.S. State Department Level 4-Do Not Travel and Level 3-Reconsider Travel and CDC Watch Level-3 Avoid Nonessential Travel requires a review and approval through the University Travel Risk Committee.
