Global Risk Assessment Committee

The Global Risk Assessment Committee 鈥� Supporting Global Mobility

The Global Risk Assessment Committee (GRAC) analyzes risk and security conditions of proposed or existing international travel and programs in order to assess whether the risks inherent in the program or at the locations are acceptable for participants and the University. In making the determination, the committee will consider:

• The safety of the faculty, staff, and students
• The University's ethical responsibilities to participants, in the spirit of academic freedom
• The University's exposure to legal liabilities
• The public relations issues relating to problematic program sites

The Global Risk Assessment Committee reviews all planned international travel involving students from any of the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息campuses to countries with a designation of 3 or 4. Risk Level 3 or 4 countries are under a Travel Advisory issued by the. A Travel Advisory of Level 3 indicates we should reconsider travel and a Risk Level of 4 suggests we should not travel. Student travel to a Risk Level 3 or 4 location is by default not permitted, and programs are suspended. Supervising faculty may apply for consideration of a waiver to this policy. Exceptions to this travel policy must be endorsed by the Global Risk Assessment Committee and approved by the Senior Academic Officer.

The Global Risk Assessment Committee may review other planned international travel involving students from 新澳门六合彩内幕信息that involve significant levels of risk - either because of the program design or because the location in country is designated Level 3 or 4 even when the country has a 1 or 2 designation. Some program designs, as well as travel to some Risk Level 1 or 2 countries, have significant risks due to health, safety, or security concerns. These risks may be identified by the U.S. Department of State, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Geological Survey, or other reputable bodies or individuals that express a valid concern about the program or the program location. Student travel on a program designed with significant risk or to a Risk Level 1 or 2 location is considered on a case-by-case basis and reviewed by the Global Risk Assessment Committee at the request of the Director of Education Abroad, Vice President of 新澳门六合彩内幕信息World, or her designee. If a review of the travel experience is requested the program is suspended. Supervising faculty may apply for consideration of a waiver to this policy. Exceptions to this travel policy must be endorsed by GRAC and approved by the Senior Academic Officer.
 
When conditions warrant, the Global Risk Assessment Committee may recommend to the Senior Academic Officer that a 新澳门六合彩内幕信息international experience or program at a particular location be suspended, or altered, prior to departure. He/She may also recommend that a 新澳门六合彩内幕信息international experience or program already underway be abbreviated or diverted and the participants removed from the country to a safe location or otherwise brought back to the United States.
 
An appeal for a waiver of the Global Risk Assessment Committee鈥檚 recommendation to the Senior Academic Officer may be made to the Senior Academic Officer by any faculty member, administrator, or program leader for an international experience or program that has not yet departed. For an international experience or program already underway, the decision of GRAC is final.

Process of Petitioning for a Waiver of Travel Restrictions

If you are planning student-related travel to a Risk Level 3 or 4 , please follow the process as outlined here. 

Contact the Global Travel Safety and Health team to discuss your desire to plan student related travel to a restricted location. Based upon the planned departure date, your petition will be scheduled to be considered by the Global Risk Assessment Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting. If no meeting is available, the petition can be reviewed electronically by the committee.

Working with the Global Travel Safety and Health team, develop a petition. A nearly complete draft can often be provided at your request. Generally the petitioner need only complete the Program Summary and provide specific risk mitigating strategies. 

The petition will be shared with committee members in advance of the meeting. A representative of the student-related travel is encouraged to meet with the committee when it considers the petition.

If the petition is approved, it may be valid only for the travel requested, or up to 2-3 years for repeated travel to the same location. This is dependent on the request and nature of the travel. All approvals are provisional and will be subject to conditions:

1. That the destination is regularly reviewed by 新澳门六合彩内幕信息World between now and the end of the program
2. 新澳门六合彩内幕信息World reserves the right to recommend suspension when warranted by a change in safety and security conditions. Past successful petitions can be reviewed as requested
