UROP Procedures

  1. UROP will notify Education Abroad (EA) of all applications proposing international travel.
  2. Applicants will be contacted by an EA representative and are expected to follow up in a timely manner—to start the International Travel Registration process, determine if additional compliance procedures are necessary and establish a timeline appropriate for their travel plans.
  3. EA will notify UROP that applicants have started the International Travel Registration process and alert UROP if an applicant's travel plans require an appeal from the International Risk Committee (IRC).
  4. UROP will send decision notices after EA confirms that applicants have started the registration process.
    • Applicants travelling to locations that do not require an appeal from the IRC may be issued payment before the travel registration process is completed.
    • Applicants travelling to locations that require an appeal from the International Risk Committee or additional compliance procedures will be issued payment only after their travel plan has been approved. Award offers will be withdrawn if an applicant's travel plans are not approved by the IRC. Applicants are responsible for notifying UROP of final IRC decisions.
