International Travel: UBC policy
Did you know that ALL UBC graduate students traveling abroad for university activities must register with the Student Safety Abroad Program? This is in keeping with UBC’s Student Travel Abroad Policy 69.
Please share this information widely with faculty and graduate students. Faculty advisors are required to advise their students of this policy and the tasks that they need to complete in advance of travel.
Graduate students must register all travel abroad undertaken as part of their academic research or course-based program whether or not it is directly organized by UBC. It is very important to note that this includes travel to a country they consider to be “safe”. For your information this policy also applies to undergraduate students.
Details of registration requirements will vary depending on the travel destination. For registration and more information on the policy visit
