High-Risk Travel Destinations
Travel to destinations that the United States Department of State (DOS) have ranked Advisory Level four (4) "Do Not Travel" are prohibited for all student international travel.
Destinations with a DOS Advisory Level three (3) “Reconsider Travel” and/or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designated Level (3) Travel Health Notice are also prohibited.
Note: Consideration will be given for DOS Level three destinations following a formal risk assessment based on a Petition completed by the student.  If interested, sponsoring departments should contact Risk Management at 518-580-5812 or at kbombard@skidmore.edu for a petition.
