The Proposal and Budget process

 

Info for International Travel

  • UNC has a new petition process for students who want to go abroad during the summer outside of an organized UNC group. We are asking UNC Robertsons to follow these steps if they are asking for UNC recognition of their activities OR they are international UNC Scholars.
  • All Scholars (Duke AND UNC) will follow Duke policies for international travel, specifically, the section for Duke Undergraduate Students – Student Planned Travel. UNC Scholars may have steps to take with UNC once this is sorted out.
  • Duke's Restricted Regions List:  ALL Scholars hoping to travel internationally must check this list. Scholars will be able to petition to travel to any of the places on the list.
  • Duke's international travel registry:   ALL Scholars traveling internationally will create a profile and register their trips with Duke.
  • US Department of State Travel Advisories: The State Department informs Duke's and UNC's policies.  This site also has excellent resources for travel to any international location.
  • This is a great resource from UNC for international travelers.
