Faculty and staff traveling domestically or abroad on university business with or without students for any reason should follow these guidelines.

Domestic Travel Registry*:

*Registration is required if traveling with students.

Faculty and Staff Domestic Travel

All faculty organizing domestic travel on behalf of the university should follow the guidelines below. Faculty and staff seeking funding or support from the University for travel related to professional development, research, or other university business must secure advance approval from their department heads or supervisors.

Faculty and Staff International Travel

All personnel participating in Washington and Lee sponsored international travel must register their travel in the travel registry. University funds may be used for international travel to countries where the U.S. Department of State’s Travel Advisory is Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions) or Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution). For destinations where any travel advisory exceeds level two, travelers must request an exception through the travel registry. The Provost will use the travel advisory with the ISOS report to determine whether to make an exception. Absent an approved exception, no tickets should be purchased or non-refundable expenditures made. 

Spring Term Travel

Faculty and staff travel connected with a spring term course should use the guidance within Curricular Resources. Please follow guidance for domestic or international spring term courses as needed.
