Before You Begin Travel Planning or Making Reservations
- Review Clark’s International Travel Policy
- Get approval for your proposed travel with your direct supervisor/dean in writing including budgetary considerations as necessary.
- Use the templates for Third-party providers or DIY to help determine a cost.
- Get approval by the appropriate budget person for your unit for an additional course fee.
- Research the safety and security situation of your planned destination. If your destination is US State Department Level 3 or 4, request approval from the Clark International Travel Committee ahead of making transportation and accommodation reservations.
- If you are working with a foreign institute or university, they must first be run through Export Control software to ensure that the US Government does not have an embargo against them. Information on export control and Clark’s policy can be found here.
- If you are working with a foreign institute or university, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) may be prudent. Office of Global Engagement for more information on when a MOU may be required.
