International Travel

As folks travel home for the holidays, a gentle reminder to be up-to-date on the latest ISO guidance (abridged version below):

"Please be sure to consult the “Visas and Travel” section of the ISO website, and specifically the “Entering the U.S.” section for guidance on documents needed to travel/re-enter the U.S. It is also very important that students who are traveling to check with your airline(s) to confirm any special testing or other documentation requirements needed in order to board the plane(s), as well as to confirm any special entry requirements to the country or countries you plan to visit. 

Please feel free to contact your ISO Advisor if, after reviewing the ISO website resources, you have any questions."
