⚠️ Updated Trinity Policy: Non-essential University-sponsored travel (international or domestic) is not allowed until further notice. For faculty and staff who believe a trip is essential, you should contact your supervisor for review. Unnecessary personal travel is highly discouraged. If any student, faculty, staff, or campus visitor has traveled to a country that is subject to the CDC’s Level 3 or greater Travel Health Notice, they will be subject to a mandatory 14-day off-campus quarantine period.

Non-essential University-sponsored travel (international or domestic) is not allowed until further notice. For faculty and staff who believe a trip is essential, you should contact your supervisor for review. While Trinity University cannot regulate personal travel, even those who travel for personal reasons will be subject to the procedures above. As the virus spreads, it is likely that international travelers may face further restrictions while they are traveling or upon returning to the United States.
Understand and routinely check any travel and border restrictions in transit, at your proposed destination, and upon your return, such as denial of entry or a mandatory 14-day quarantine on arrival.
There are simple everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surface
