UTM International travel suspended indefinitely

The continued spread of COVID-19 has prompted UTM officials to indefinitely suspend international travel for employees and cancel Maymester international travel courses. Maymester courses that include a domestic travel component and domestic travel for employees are not currently affected. Maymester is an accelerated academic semester that runs May 11-29.

“While this news will be disappointing for many, and particularly for our students enrolled in Maymester travel courses, these changes are in the best interest of our university community at this moment,” said UTM Chancellor Keith Carver in an email to university faculty and staff. UTM students are currently on spring break.

COVID-19 is caused by a member of the coronavirus family that is closely related to the SARS and MERS viruses that have caused past outbreaks. UTM is providing updates through a link on the university’s utm.edu home page.
