Travel Resources - Colorado College

Students and Faculty are encouraged before making a decision about a certain international travel destination to check the US State Department website for travel advisories and warnings.

Colorado College guidelines for travel to a country with a US State Department travel warning:

A travel warning is issued by the US State Department when, based on relevant information, it decides that US Citizens due to safety risks should avoid travel to a specific country. Colorado College takes such travel warnings very seriously and should a student wish to apply for a study abroad program in a location with a travel warning, the College will evaluate the application on a case by case scenario and decide if it is advisable to participate.  

Travel Review for CC sponsored International Travel :

If you are a student and traveling on a CC sponsored international trip (venture grant, service learning) you need to consult the Independent International Travel/Service brochure and complete the Travel Review Form .

We encourage all CC students, faculty and staff to register with the US Embassy in country. Most US embassies abroad offer easy online registration.
