Due to the ongoing Ebola outbreak in portions of Africa, University-related travel to Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remains suspended until further notice. This suspension undergoes periodic review, and should the situation change will be updated accordingly. For individuals returning to campus or a University global location from affected regions, follow current U.S. Government and Centers for Disease Control (CDC ) guidance for travelers returning from Ebola-Affected Areas. If symptoms develop, seek medical guidance immediately and avoid coming to campus or a University location until medically evaluated.
