CSU Travel Policy Updated
Dear Faculty and Staff:
The updated CSU travel policy suspends all international and non-essential domestic travel through July 31, 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Only CSU Presidents may provide an exception in extenuating and compelling circumstances. This authority cannot be delegated. Requests for exceptions should be routed through your divisional Vice President and I will review their recommendations. These dates may need to be revised as both the COVID-19 outbreak and its financial impacts continue to change.
FAQs for Travel Restrictions
- What criteria will be used to determine if an exception can be made?
- Necessity of the proposed travel, including consequences of postponing travel
- Needs and preferences of the individual
- Availability of safe and secure shelter at the destination
- Availability of appropriate medical care at the destination
- Availability of transportation, services, and other necessities at the destination
- Assessment of risks associated with traveling versus risks of remaining in place
- Who is affected?
All University and auxiliary employees regardless of funding source - Is the restriction for out-of-state travel only?
No, the restriction is for in-state, out-of-state, and international travel - What if I previously had my travel approved by my supervisor?
The travel must be re-approved considering these new restrictions and FAQ - Do these restrictions apply to student travel?
Yes
Specific questions about this travel guidance and restriction should be addressed to your immediate supervisor and/or college dean or associate vice president.
