FSU CORONAVIRUS TRAVEL REGULATIONS

In order to keep all FSU travelers safe during business- or research-related travel, all postdoctoral scholars are required to enter travel arrangements into the Concur software effectively immediately. This is with regards to air and train travel, domestic or international, which is supported by FSU funds (example: postdoctoral scholar travel award) or university-managed funds (example: a federal grant). If you have already booked your travel, then you are required to send a copy of your itinerary/ticket to plans@concur.com for full approval. You are encouraged to work with your departmental travel representative when making trip arrangements. If your trip does not use FSU funds or university-managed funds (example: an institution invites you to give a seminar and will be paying for it), the university still requires you to email your planned business itinerary to plans@concur.com, even if you are not using the Concur software for these types of travel activities. Because postdocs represent a predominant international group, you are asked to self-isolate for 14 days following personal travel to countries experiencing the coronavirus or if you have relatives visiting you here that have had possible contact with the coronavirus. For business- related travel, you are currently not permitted to travel to countries that are designated Level 2 and 3 from the CDC.
