COURSE FEES POLICY REVISION

DONATED LEAVE FOR CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS

CHALKING - INTERIM POLICY
Effective November 11, 2019, this INTERIM CHALKING POLICY defines chalking and associated rules, and will be in effect until a permanent policy can be developed and implemented.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL REGISTRATION
This new policy defines types of ISU-sponsored international travel and requires centralized registration of international trips prior to departure. Central registration allows the university to coordinate resources to best support travelers, promote safety, and to comply with regulations. A draft of the new International Travel Registration policy is available for your review and comments. Please submit your comments and questions to policy@iastate.edu by November 30, 2019. The policy will not be finalized until after the comment period, so your feedback is important!
