On Travel Advisories

The U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control each publish assessments of international travel destinations with regard to a variety of safety metrics. Learn more about DoS travel advisories, including country assessments, on State's International Travel page, which also has links to a searchable list of Travel Advisories by Destination; the CDC's complementary site is their Travelers' Health page.

Longwood prohibits university travel to destination countries assessed at DoS Level 3: Reconsider Travel and Level 4: Do Not Travel. Students who have applied or plan to apply to a program in a destination assessed at a Department of State Level 3: Reconsider Travel may petition for an exemption to the policy prohibiting travel to high-risk destinations.
