Important Travel Notice for International Students

 

Based on the recent Executive Order, we are recommending that all international students reconsider any travel plans abroad during the Spring/Summer semesters 2017. Although this Executive Order does not apply to all countries, there is significant confusion at US Ports of Entry and we do not want our students to be negatively affected by this ban. If you still need to travel abroad, please email askucie@wright.edu or contact Jonathon Henderson at (937) 775-3291.

 

Check the UCIE website for additional information and updates on the Executive Order and Travel Advisory at https://www.wright.edu/international-education/resources
