Provide feedback on the international travel registration policy

Iowa State's I nternational Travel Registration policy was implemented in 2020 to help the university provide appropriate resources to travelers, promote safety and security of travelers, and comply with domestic and international laws. The policy is up for review, and we would appreciate your feedback to help improve the policy and associated procedures. Please take a few moments to complete a brief survey about the current policy and your interest in participating in a future focus group.
