Travel Registry

All members of the community undertaking Swarthmore Global Travel outside of the United States are required to submit their information to the Travel Registry before departure. The specifics of the travel registration process will vary by the program, by the role of the participant, and by the destination (if the location carries elevated risk). 

In order to allow time to prepare for your trip, all travelers are strongly encouraged to register as soon as travel is firm and no later than 3 weeks prior to departure.  Only after your information has been reviewed and approved will you receive a "Pre-Trip Advisory" from International SOS that contains destination-specific advice and information. Some entry requirements (such as multi-dose vaccines or visa applications) can take several weeks to complete.  Timely completion of Travel Registry requirements will streamline your travel preparations. 

Failing to register can result in: exposure to preventable health and safety risks, barriers to assistance in case of emergency, insufficient insurance coverage, and potential denial of reimbursement for travel-related expenses.
