Travel to countries of concern as defined by the federal law:
may carry an enhanced risk to OU. Unless authorized as part of an award or otherwise approved through the Appeal process noted in the International Travel Policy, University employees traveling to a country of concern will be prohibited from taking any OU equipment or accessing any OU IT systems (including OU email) or any OU data on any device(s).
Additionally, federal and/or other sponsored funding must not be used to pay for travel to countries of concern or used to cover salary and/or other forms of compensation while in a country of concern.
OU employees are responsible for knowing and complying with any contractual obligations from federal sponsors concerning travel to a country of concern.

The International Traveler Registration policy sets protocols for the registration and support processes for international travel, information, and devices by stakeholder offices, such as Enterprise Risk Management and Export Controls. The policy promotes a safe, secure, and accountable environment that is conducive to the free exchange of ideas, protective of controlled government-regulated and proprietary information, and compliant with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. This registration will allow OU to ensure insurance is in place as appropriate and determine the need for export licenses or additional documents that enable faculty to travel with or access OU data and equipment.
For more information involving instructional travel (either international or domestic) please see §4.24 of the OU Faculty Handbook (for Norman Campus programs), the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Faculty Development (for HSC programs) or contact the College of International Studies.
To register an international trip, you will need to provide the following:
Note: Some of the information you will be asked is technical involving VPN, operating systems, etc. There is an “I don’t know” option on technologically-oriented items. If you select the “I don’t know” option, an IT representative will be in contact with you to provide support.
* Cell phone information is requested as cell phones are often used to access university systems, such as email, while off-campus.
