Travel Risk Resources for the UCSF Community

UC Office of the President Travel Advisory: The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 4 — Do Not Travel Warning for Ukraine due to the conflict. As a result, and out of concern for the well-being and safety of the UC community, we are directing all members of the UC community to avoid all travel to Ukraine at this time. Additionally, travel to neighboring countries should be carefully evaluated.

Know and Manage Your Travel Risk

Resources for UCSF faculty, staff, and other employees working abroad on UC-sponsored travel are provided on this page. Separate sections provide travel risk resources for UCSF students, international delegations, and for personal travel.

All travelers are responsible to assess and manage their own travel risk:
