When preparing to travel abroad for your research, register your itinerary and contact information in the Harvard Travel Registry so that the University can locate you quickly and provide assistance in the event of an emergency (e.g. natural disaster, civil unrest, etc.).

Registering is strongly recommended for everyone and is required for students traveling on trips that are arranged by the University or for which they will receive University funding or credit.

• Visit www.traveltools.harvard.edu
• Register your itinerary
• Learn about services offered by International SOS
• Find visa requirements and application assistance
• A pre-trip online orientation for students.

In addition to International SOS, travelers should also develop an emergency contact plan including country-specific emergency phone numbers for local police, fire, and medical assistance. Students should also plan to maintain regular contact with their advisors.
