Travel Registry Requirement

University Travel Risk Management Policy

The ODU Office of Risk Management administers the University Travel Risk Management Policy #1007, and maintains the University Travel Risk Management registry. This policy requires registration of domestic and international business travel, be it by planes, trains, or automobiles.

This policy applies to all employees, students, and employees of affiliated organizations who are paid through the University for approved University-supported/funded travel.

Affiliated organizations such as the Foundations, the Community Development Corporation, and the Alumni Association, are also subject to this policy.

This policy also applies to visitors who may be prohibited from traveling to the campus during times of federal, state, local, or campus emergencies.
