All students, staff, and faculty are required (per Policy 8.5) to add their Cornell-related international travel plans to the Cornell International Travel Registry.
In the event of an emergency or a developing situation that could affect you or your travel plans, your registration enables Cornell’s International Health, Safety, and Security team to locate and contact you, providing necessary resources. This system also includes the International Travel Advisory and Response Team (ITART) petition for travel to high-risk destinations.
For All Cornell Travelers:
Log in and Select "Add Trip"
Provide Trip Information: Enter your trip details, including addresses for each leg of your journey.
Submit and Confirm: Submit your trip information. You will receive a confirmation email, which can serve as proof of registration.
For Students Traveling (or Staff or Faculty Traveling with Students) to Elevated Risk Destinations:
Complete the ITART Petition at least two to six weeks before departure.
Check our Elevated Risk destination list. If you're a student (or staff or faculty traveling with students) planning on traveling to a destination on that list, you'll need to complete a petition. The petition is built into the Travel Registry. You'll be prompted for additional information and a rationale for your elevated-risk travel plans. If your registration includes an ITART petition, the International Travel Advisory Response Team (ITART) will review and process your petition. It usually takes about five to seven business days for routine petitions to be processed, although highly risky destinations (e.g., active or emerging conflict zones) usually take a longer process time as the committee might request additional travel information before deliberation. Due to changing conditions, petitions are not reviewed more than six weeks prior to departure. Last-minute petitions may delay your travel plans. If approved, you may consider yourself registered.
For Students: Request the Assumption of Risk and Release Form
All students traveling on Cornell-related international travel must complete the International Travel Assumption of Risk and Release questionnaire before departure. Contact the Office of Risk Management if you have any questions or need assistance to complete the questionnaire or get the appropriate Assumption of Risk and Release form. The Office of Risk Management requires a minimum of 30 days before travel to process the Assumption of Risk and Release form.
Did you forget to preregister and need an International Trip ID for your travel reimbursement? Please complete the Missing Travel Registration Form.
Starting November 1, 2024, international travel that is not preregistered will be classified as non-authorized, and business-related travel expenses will not be reimbursed.
