In addition to registration and insurance requirements of the UT Student Travel Policy to International Locations, all students proposing travel to any location on the [Restricted Regions List](https://global.utexas.edu/risk/travel/restricted-regions/list) must obtain approval from the International Oversight Committee (IOC) by submitting a completed Restricted Regions Travel Request form.

**All student forms must be signed by the chair of their department or by another internally designated individual with departmental authority to approve Restricted Regions requests.**
