HDR student approval to travel

HDR students need to obtain approval from the Head/Director of their school/centre, before undertaking authorised UQ travel.

Authorised travel is where a currently enrolled UQ student undertakes an authorised activity more than 50km away from their usual residence or study location and involves an overnight stay. The activity must be related to their enrolment as a student.  Detailed information on the UQ Student Travel Procedure including approval processes, insurance, risk management and responsibilities can be found in the Student Travel Procedure. HDR students should read section 4.2.5 of the procedures in particular, and use the Student Traveller Declaration form for both domestic and international travel.

This form applies to all HDR student travel related to their enrolment as an HDR Student. It should not be used for personal travel, or if travelling as a staff member.  The form must be completed by the HDR Student and endorsed by their Principal Advisor and Head of School prior to undertaking travel.  Please send the form, signed by you and your principal advisor, to your school/centre Head/Director as listed below.
