Student International Travel Considerations
Non-US Passport Holders: UVA students who are not U.S. passport holders should consult ISSP FAQs and UVA Federal Information to understand how changes to U.S. immigration policy could affect them. This includes guidance on the June 4th Presidential Proclamation restricting entry to the United States for nationals of 19 countries.
Safety Considerations due to Conflict in the Middle East: The U.S. Department of State has issued a Worldwide Caution directing travelers with U.S. affiliations to exercise increased caution worldwide, especially in the Middle East. UVA students should not book flights that travel through a country with a University Travel Restriction, State Department Level 3 or 4, or other restriction. Consult the ISO's Travel Alerts, Notices & Warning page for details.

Make an Advising Appointment
Students interested in education abroad are encouraged to meet with an Education Abroad Advisor. Advisors are specialists in the field of international education with regional expertise. They can help you evaluate program options in order to meet your goals, answer specific questions, and guide you throughout the process of applying and preparing to study abroad.
- Appointments are available in either in-person or virtual formats.
- During the year, refer to the advisor's appointment availability. If you sign up for an in-person time but would prefer to meet virtually, indicate this when requesting the appointment.
- During the summer, appointments are virtual unless you request, and the advisor confirms, in-person.
- If you have a virtual session, your advisor will send you the Zoom link when confirming your appointment.
- In-person appointments will take place in the advisor's office in Minor Hall. Please come to the ISO, on the 2nd floor of Minor Hall, and sign in at the front desk. Plan to arrive a couple minutes early.
- All students are strongly encouraged to complete the Education Abroad Workshop as preparation for your advising appointment.
- If you are not available during the hours of the advisor with whom you would like to meet, or if you are not a UVA student, email the advisor directly to set up a separate date and time to talk.
