International Travel Registry

Why is it important to register?

Safety is NUMBER ONE!  Registering your international travel will provide the following benefits:  

• The ITR helps the University to contact you in case of an emergency.
• The ITR helps you stay in contact with the University and get urgent safety, health, and security-related information and assistance.
• The ITR provides insurance through the University’s United Health Plan.

Who should register with the International Travel Registry?

Faculty, staff and students on BGSU credit or non-credit bearing activities planning international travel related to University purposes or activities are expected to register their trip with the International Travel Registry.
