Over the Thanksgiving Break, new COVID-related travel restrictions were published that affect anyone who plans to be in (or travel to the U.S. from) the following Southern African countries: Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. If you have left the U.S. and are currently in one of these countries, please let us know so we can do our best to keep you updated with any new developments related to these travel restrictions and determine the most effective course of action for returning to the U.S. for Spring semester.
If you were planning to travel to one of these countries but have not yet left the U.S., it is advised that you remain in the U.S. (or another country not on the list) at this time if at all possible. Please let us know if you need assistance in figuring out an alternative plan for Winter Break if this is your situation.
