UOG Travel Advisory

The prohibition on official travel is rescinded as of March 16, 2022. Official travel must consider the enroute requirements, requirements at the destination, and requirements upon return at the time of travel to ensure it is feasible and authorized for the round trip to occur safely and without undue delays.

Assumed risk

Should a travel authorization not be approved by UOG, employees and students still choosing to travel would be travelling on their own time, at their own costs, and at their own risks. Employees would be required to use personal leave.

If you choose to travel, please be aware that there is a chance that you may not be able to leave the country you are visiting and may not be able to return to Guam right away. This would depend on any changes to this evolving situation including alert levels, exposure to COVID-19, and changes to travel routes. In such cases, you should prepare a contingency plan for your travel.

The University advises checking the latest travel recommendations and risk assessment levels for certain countries at the following websites:

• Centers for Disease Control & Prevention: Coronavirus Disease 2019 Information for Travel
• U.S. Department of State: International Travel
