Select Your Travel Category
Choose the option that best describes you and your travel role to begin your University of Arizona International Travel Registration.
Select if you are a U of A faculty or staff member traveling in the course and scope of U of A employment or representation, regardless of reimbursement. Graduate assistants traveling in the course and scope of their role as an employee should select this option (note this in your registration).
Select if you are a U of A graduate student traveling abroad as a U of A student (e.g., research or academic conference) and you are not receiving academic credit as a result of the travel. Note: If you are participating in a program/trip abroad that includes at least one overnight stay and will be receiving academic credit as a result, then you will need to receive a registration link from your program/trip’s program lead or Arizona International to register. Please do not register your travel using this link.

Travel Registry Information
Who Needs to Register:
U of A employees, students, volunteers, participants, or Designated Campus Colleagues (DCC) traveling outside the U.S. 50 states* on official U of A business are required, under the U of A International Travel Safety and Compliance Policy, to register upcoming travel at least 30 days before departing.
*Please Note: You do not need to register international travel that is purely for personal purposes.
Travel Funded by Others:
If you are on official university travel (i.e., in the course and scope of your role as faculty, staff, student, or DCC at the university), you still must register.
Why Registration Matters:
The U of A International Travel Registry facilitates compliance with federal regulations and enables rapid location and communication in an emergency (e.g. natural disasters, civil unrest, etc.). It also ensures that you will be covered under the State’s blanket international emergency medical and evacuation insurance policy administered by Risk Management.
When to Register:
As soon as possible, at least 30 days prior to departure.
How to Register:
Gather information, documents, and tips listed on the Know Before You Go Travel Checklist.
Then, select the appropriate registration button above to initiate your registration.

Guidance for Group Trips:
- Travel Lead Requirements (for trip leads organizing trips leading students, not necessary for trips with students traveling independently to the same location)
- Visit Know Before You Go (with students)
Travel to Higher Risk Locations:
Certain locations are considered higher risk, and the reasons for this designation range from high rates of violent crime to disease outbreaks. For those registering travel to a higher-risk location, U of A International Travel will email the traveler asking for Supplemental Travel Information prior to submitting the travel for review by the university's International Travel Safety Committee (ITSC). Additionally, U of A International Travel will reach out to the traveler's academic department to seek confirmation as to whether this travel is deemed “essential.”
To help determine if your travel is high risk, please review the following sites:
Crisis24 Horizon (access through NetID): Horizon
- Ensure you use your U of A email ending in @arizona.edu and your U of A password to log in.
- Locations are considered high risk when they are 3.50 (out of 5) and above.
State Department Travel Advisories: State Department
- State Department travel advisory of 3 or 4 is considered higher risk.
Traveler Health Resources:
If you have upcoming international travel, please review the CDC's Travelers’ Health website prior to your departure.
