Purpose:

An ad hoc advisory committee appointed by the provost and senior vice president of academic affairs knowledgeable about international relations, risk management, and student affairs and academic programs.

The International Travel Policy & Risk Oversight Committee was established to develop and recommend Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with NMSU operational policy 16.69 University Related International Travel, as well as to maintain and recommend updates. The SOPs will promote the health, safety, and security of Travelers and students participating in NMSU-sponsored international travel, as well as increase efficiencies in internal operations, and may take the form of guidelines, forms, and other requirements.

The committee serves as an institutional review body that will review matters in which individuals may seek a waiver of university travel restrictions or wish to appeal a decision based on university travel restrictions. After review, the committee will issue a recommendation to the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.
