The Commission's policies allow for the postponement of any necessary international trips. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
According to the policies and procedures of the Accreditation Commission for Higher Education (AHLAC), peer evaluators are required to thoroughly research and assess specific information about their destination before traveling abroad.
The US Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs provides valuable information on travel warnings, international travel, and country-specific details. It is essential for travelers to thoroughly review information on their destination, including entry/exit requirements, local laws and customs, health conditions, transportation options, and other relevant topics that may impact their visit.
Travelers are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service offered by the US government for US citizens traveling or residing abroad. STEP provides updates, travel advisories, and important information in times of disaster, assisting the State Department in providing support to its citizens.
