Dear students,
As we continue to monitor the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), our team is working diligently to ensure your safety and wellbeing.
We write to you today to provide the following information, guidance and policy as it pertains to travel. We understand this could be disruptive to your upcoming plans, but unfortunately the situation warrants these measures.
University-Related Travel
Effective immediately and until further notice, university-related international travel is not authorized, even if previously planned or already registered with the Pam Hendrix Center for Education Abroad.
Any exception to this will require specific approval pursuant to the University’s High-Risk Travel Policy.
Unauthorized international travel to any location could result in serious consequences – possibly causing disruptions to your academic progress, funding allocations, reimbursements and potentially jeopardizing the status of your student organization.
Personal Travel
In order to protect yourself, and those around you, we recommend that for the foreseeable future you avoid international personal travel as well. If you do choose to travel to a high-risk location, please register travel directly into the student travel registry, and understand that you will be subject to additional screenings and/or quarantine requirements before you can return to the Clemson campus.
As the virus continues to spread throughout the world, we also encourage you to monitor domestic locations you may be considering as detailed on the CDC’s website.
We anticipate as this situation evolves, there may be additional screening and quarantine requirements mandated by government entities.
Thank you for your continued scholarly approach to the semester. I wish you continued success in your studies, and thank you for your attention to this important safety information.
Sincerely,
Bob Jones, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost
Chris Miller, Interim Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
