Regulations Regarding Travel (Registering Your Travel)

All awards from the European Studies Center are subject to the University of Pittsburgh International Travel Guidelines for Students.

Your funding from the ESC is contingent upon your adherence to these guidelines and you must show proof of completing the required forms issued by Study Abroad Office prior to departure to remain eligible for funding.  You should forward the confirmation email you receive to Ingrid Gomez-O'Toole (ING7@pitt.edu) at least two weeks prior to your departure date.

Should the university issue additional travel restrictions in advance of or during your ESC-funded trip, you will be expected to comply with the new restrictions.  Should you have to cancel a trip for which you have already incurred out-of-pocket expenses due to a University-imposed travel restriction, please contact Pawel Lewicki (pawel.lewicki@pitt.edu to determine if and how the expenses can still be reimbursed. If you choose to undertake travel that violates University policy and guidelines, your grant will be revoked and no expenses will be reimbursed.

IRB Approvals

Proof of IRB status (including exemptions) must be submitted to Ingrid Gomez-O'Toole (ING7@pitt.edu) at least two weeks prior to your departure date.  For more information, visit the IRB website.
