Travel Policies

All members of the Princeton University community are required to enroll the details of University-sanctioned travel with the Global Safety & Security (GS&S) office.

In addition to policies and standards specifically related to travel and international operations and programs, there are several related guidelines issued by other University offices that apply to some or all types of travel. Reviewing these before planning a journey helps ensure you remain in compliance with University and, in some instances, government requirements.
