Students who plan academic-related travel or who intend to receive Brown funding for travel to a country on the U.S. State Department Travel Warning List are required to submit a Supplementary Waiver and Acknowledgement Form to Brown’s Office of International Programs.

Brown’s approval/support of the program of study/research is not granted unless the Supplementary Waiver and Acknowledgement Form is signed by you and a parent or legal guardian.
Please contact the Office of International Programs to receive the form and additional information about the Travel Warning Policy.
