All faculty or staff who are traveling internationally for a University-related purpose or taking University-owned equipment or personal equipment with a University program, including email, abroad on personal travel must register their travel.
When completing the travel registration, all WVU employees must provide the information needed to help ensure compliance with U.S. export regulations.
The gathering of this information is part of the travel registration process. Documentation prior to your travel assures that you are in compliance with Federal Export Control regulations and that you are registered for international SOS/health/evacuation insurance coverage. It is best to complete the registration process at least six weeks prior to your travel.
If you will have students accompanying you on this trip and have not completed the Education Abroad process, please contact Vanessa Yerkovich. All student travel — credit or non-credit — with University faculty, must be conducted through Education Abroad.
Before inviting or accepting a visit by a foreign visitor, register the visit in the Office of Global Affairs’ International Visitor Registry.

Upon receipt of the registration, the Export Control Office will review the visit to determine if the visitor is on a federal restricted party list, associated with a restricted entity, and/or whether there are any additional export control restrictions or requirements based on the nature and scope of the visit. The ECO will contact the host if any additional information is required, and provide any applicable export control requirements or guidance, where appropriate.
