Travel Over Spring Break and Re-entering the U.S. 

Dear Hornet Family: 

As many members of our campus community are heading into a well-deserved rest over spring break (March 31-April 4), we want to share current information regarding travel outside the U.S. 

Students or employees currently on a U.S. visa/non-immigrant status (such as an a F-1 international student, J-1 student or visiting scholar, H-1B employee, refugee, etc.), who have immigrant status (such as permanent resident/green card, for example), are undocumented, or TPS are strongly encouraged to carefully assess the necessity of international travel at this time. Although the decision to travel abroad is a personal choice, members of the campus community are advised to proceed with extreme caution if deciding to travel abroad. 

Additional information on travel concerns, along with explanations, can be found in the CSU International Travel Guidance (PDF document).

Please note that it is not our intention to prohibit anyone from traveling, either internationally or within the U.S., rather we are making this recommendation to community members who are not U.S. citizens out of an abundance of caution.  

International faculty members or students who do travel, either internationally or within the United States, are advised to have in their possession at all times the following:  

  • Valid passport and visa 
  • I-20 (F-1) or DS-2019 (J-1) 
  • Proof of your connection to Sacramento State  
  • Evidence of funding 

If you need legal support, the California State University system provides free legal immigration services through Immigrant Legal Defense or ILD available to all CSU employees, students, and their family members.  We also have staff at the International Programs & Global Engagement at 916-278-6686 who can answer questions for international students. Faculty and staff can contact Faculty & Staff Immigration Services for questions on immigration at 916-278-4882.

At Sacramento State, we are a community of care and value all of our community members. We will make every effort to provide information and resources to our community as soon as they are available.  

We hope that you take this time to rest, recharge, and reset. Wishing you a safe and restorative spring break. 

In solidarity and support,
