Case Western Reserve University welcomes many international scholars, lecturers and collaborators who enrich our campus by engaging in lectures, workshops, conferences and other academic activities. Their presence strengthens our teaching, research and global partnerships, and we deeply value their contributions to our community.
Registration required for visitors from ITAR countries
To support this important engagement, international visitors from ITAR-designated countries who will be physically present on CWRU premises or in university facilities are required to register in advance. This step helps ensure compliance, safety and responsible stewardship of university resources. It also enables us to meet federal research and export control regulations, protect university intellectual property, and ensure appropriate access to facilities and campus safety.
International visitors from ITAR countries—regardless of the length of visit—must be registered. An international visitor is an individual that you invite or agree to host who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (Green Card holder), plans to be on the CWRU premises for any period of time, and is not a CWRU student, an exchange student, postdoc, or employee.
An ITAR country is a nation designated under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)—U.S. federal regulations that govern the export and sharing of defense-related materials, technologies and technical data. Countries on the ITAR-designated list are subject to additional restrictions due to national security or foreign policy considerations.
Registration should take place before an invitation is formally extended to a visitor.
The hosting faculty member or sponsoring staff member will be responsible for submitting the registration.
The form requests essential details such as visitor identification, purpose of visit, dates on campus, and activities planned while at CWRU.
Fill out the International Visitor Form in CampusGroups.
