Important travel advice

Students planning international travel should regularly monitor DFATand theɱٱ.

UQ strongly recommends that students do not travel to, or transit through, locations rated “Do not travel” or “Reconsider your need to travel”,due to security risks,disruptionand insurance limitations.

Where a destinationremainsapproved, but a student chooses to transit via such locations against advice, UQ support and insurance apply only to the approved experience and destination, not to the student’s travel routing.

Studentsare responsible forreviewing flight routes and keeping their travel details up to date.
