This includes individual faculty/staff travel, undergraduate, graduate, professional degree or certificate programs, or any other programs arranged and/or sponsored by a campus, a school, the College, or a department that in any way relates to University business.

University-sponsored group travel includes global education opportunities organized, developed, or administered by specific schools and colleges, departments, or University of Redlands employees as approved by the International Travel and Activities Advisory Committee.
