What to do before you travel:

  • Right before you travel, log into your file and note that you are traveling abroad by checking the box at the bottom that indicates "if parents are traveling abroad in a country other than the U.S., this box will be checked." This will notify the reviewers that you are traveling, and they will be very prompt with responding to inquiries and updates while you are abroad.
  • Review our travel page and helpful tips:

 

Regarding Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.:

  • It is best if you upload everything to your account on the Log system. Sometimes our reviewers cannot access other platforms such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., and the University of Minnesota does not recommend them for sharing medical data.
  • If you have any issues with uploading anything (including large files), please contact us at iac@umn.edu.
