Andrews University Travel

The highest priority of the Andrews University administration is to help ensure and protect the health and safety of students and employees. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this priority continues to come into sharp focus. As a result, we will continue to create COVID-19 protocols that are informed by the ongoing and changing guidelines from the CDC and state and local public health departments.

Given that context, vaccinated and acquired immunity students and employees are permitted to participate in University-sponsored travel. For example, such persons may engage in approved academic-related travel, such as field trips, class trips, and study tours.  Please review the "Campus Protocols" for up-to-date COVID-19 policies and procedures.   COVID webpage.
