Traveling abroad for work or study? Register here before you go

Virginia Tech requires all university-supported travelers — including students, faculty, and staff — to register their international travel prior to departure to ensure financial approval, credit transfer authorization, safety tracking, and export control support. For VT faculty and staff:

Initiating a Collaboration with an International Partner

The College has a process for initiating new partnerships and agreements, which requires that the initiating faculty member Proposes a new agreement. With this information, our office will draft and finalize the agreement in collaboration with the proposed partner institution, and submit it for review and approval.

Hosting an International Visitor
