TRAVEL ALERT - March 8, 2011

Dear Students,

We are sure most of you are looking forward to spring break, and many of you are planning to travel during this time to relax with friends and family.

If your spring break plans include non-university organized or sponsored international travel, we strongly urge you to be mindful of conditions in various regions around world. Situations in many countries change quickly, so please consult U.S. Department of State Travel Warnings regularly: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/tw/tw_1764.html

If you are considering international travel to Mexico, the Texas Department of Public Safety warns Texans to avoid traveling to Mexico in light of recent violent events and a general increase in violence in many parts of Mexico. Please visit their website at: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us

To further inform travelers, the University has created a Restricted Regions travel list: http://www.utexas.edu/international/travel_restrictions/regions.html

Please remember when traveling to another country, you are no longer under United States laws, customs and protections. Students traveling internationally should register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate by visiting: https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/

We wish you safe travels, and hope you return enriched, refreshed and ready to resume your studies and your work.

Hook 'em Horns!
