UROP Travel Safety Forms

Doing UROP research away from the MIT campus involves additional paperwork that must be completed prior to your departure. To make sure that all appropriate travel paperwork is in place, please be in touch with UROP staff well in advance of your planned departure date. Off-campus and overseas UROP research cannot be approved if the appropriate paperwork is not in place.

Listed below are the materials you will need to submit to UROP staff in 7-104 at least two weeks prior to your departure:

  • Graduate and Undergraduate Students Travel Form (PDF): Required for MIT-sponsored travel to destinations listed under MIT's latest warnings for MIT Travel Risks Categorizations as having moderate, high, or highest risk. Note that in situations where the advisory lists travel risk as "highest," MIT-related travel may not be permitted.

  • Checklist and Risk Assumption Form (PDF): Required for UROP overseas travel to destinations not listed under MIT's moderate, high, or highest risk categories. By signing this form, you confirm that you have reviewed the appropriate materials indicating the risks associated with travel to specific destinations, and that you fully recognize that risks are associated with the planned voluntary travel.

  • UROP Emergency Contact Form (PDF): Completed by UROP students planning research-related travel to any destination. The form asks for information related to your destination (such as address and telephone number, passport information, travel dates, the name of the UROP supervisor traveling with you, and who we might contact in the case of an emergency).

  • Travel Itinerary: Plan on submitting an itinerary outlining your travel plans by date. You should include information on where you will be staying, and how you plan to travel between destinations. You may need to confer with your UROP supervisor for this information.
