Department of State Travel Advisories

The Department of State issues a Travel Advisory for each country of the world. Travel Advisories follow a consistent format and use plain language to help U.S. citizens find and use important security information. Travel Advisories apply up to four standard levels of advice, describe the risks, and provide clear actions U.S. citizens should take to help ensure their safety.

To see a complete list of Travel Advisories for every country in the world, see travel.state.gov/traveladvisories. Click on the color-coded world map at travelmaps.state.gov for a global view.

R-MC classes will not travel to countries designated as Level 4. The College reserves the right to determine whether travel to Level 3 countries is advised.

*Participants also must be registered with the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment System (STEP) prior to departure. Please refer to Registration with State Department in this handbook.
