International Travel
Personal vs. UT Business International Travel Policies
Anyone traveling abroad on University business or programs is required by the UT System to register their international travel through the UT Austin International Travel Registry (UTAITR).
All registered travelers will be covered by On Call International Overseas Insurance.
International Travel to Restricted Travel Regions needs additional approval from the International Oversight Committee (IOC). Additional information regarding international travel policies for students, faculty, and staff can be found on the Texas Global Risk and Safety International Travel Process webpage.
Faculty Travel Grant application
Eligible faculty may receive as much as $1,400 per academic year for travel expenses to present original papers at scholarly and professional meetings. The FTG application must be submitted at least two weeks prior to travel (RTA admin/departmental signer is Elaine Kilduff/emk493). When applying to use these funds you must have a secondary account that can also be used for your travel in case your FTG application is denied and/or expenses exceed the current FTG yearly limit. Please be aware that only tenured or tenure-track faculty members qualify to apply for use of these funds.
A Travel Authorization form (RTA) and a Faculty Travel Grant application should be submitted at the same time to minimize processing delays.
Please notify the department, well in advance of guest lecturer's travel or engagement of speaking services. Staff must process the appropriate paperwork prior to a speaking engagement in order to gather information from "hosting" faculty member concerning possible travel arrangements, funding accounts, advertising/flyers, honorariums, etc.
