SPRING BREAK TRAVEL: PASSPORT REMINDER Passports Required Under WHTI for U.S. and Canadian Air Travelers as of January 23, 2007 The Department of State and the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a final rule to implement Phase One of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). The rule, effective January 23, 2007, requires valid passports of all U.S. citizens as well as all nonimmigrant aliens with citizenship in Canada, Bermuda, and Mexico, departing from or entering the United States from within the Western Hemisphere at air ports-of-entry. Prior to this, these individuals were exempt from the passport requirement. This rule does not change visa rules, only travel document requirements. A separate, future rulemaking will address land and sea travelers. SAFETY INFORMATION FOR A SAFE AND SECURE SPRING BREAK The Division of Student Affairs would like to share with on-and off-campus student residents the following safety information for a safe and secure Spring Break.Students living off-campus: The Office of Off-Campus Student Services reminds you to:
For on-campus students: While the Department of Public Safety and the Office of Residence Life staff monitor University residences, you are reminded to take reasonable precautions before leaving for Spring Break as well.
If students leave their vehicles in University parking areas, be sure all valuables have been removed from view and that the vehicle is locked. For students who fly out of Syracuse's Hancock International Airport for Spring Break, you are reminded that new safety regulations at airports have changed the process of flying.
In addition, security measures have increased the amount of time it takes to check in before flights. Airport officials recommend that travelers keep their government-issued photo identification handy and arrive early to allow time for additional baggage screening. We wish you a safe and relaxing Spring Break and look forward to your return to campus. PERSONAL SAFETY AND TRAVELING DURING SPRING BREAK A message from Off-Campus Student Services--
