Register Your Travel Itinerary

Posted September 14, 2011

GSAS students and scholars, are you planning to travel abroad in the coming months?

Register your itinerary with Harvard so that the University can locate you quickly and provide assistance in the event of an emergency (i.e. natural disaster, civil unrest, etc). Registering is required for all students traveling on trips funded or arranged by the University, and strongly recommended for everyone.

Visit traveltools.harvard.edu then click Harvard Travel Registry.

Students should record their information as soon as their trip is booked and then make sure the information stays up-to-date.  The Travel Tools webpage also contains useful information for planning a safe trip, as well as links to important resources such as International SOS, which provides 24-hour worldwide emergency medical and evacuation assistance for Harvard affiliates.

 

The information collected is used only within the University for safety, emergency, or aggregate reporting purposes.
