International Travel Registry
Key messages
• One of Washington University’s top priorities is the health, safety, and security of our students, faculty, and staff. This priority takes on even greater importance when members of our community travel outside the United States.
• To help ensure safety and wellbeing when traveling internationally, registration for university-related international travel is required of all students and all benefits-eligible faculty, residents, staff, residents, clinical fellows, and post-doctoral researchers traveling outside the United States for university purposes.
• MyTrips and related support services is provided by our longtime partner, International SOS (ISOS), the world’s largest medical and travel security services firm. ISOS specializes in medical assistance, travel security advice and information, health care, and evacuation and repatriation services.
• MyTrips requires travelers to create a one-time traveler profile at mytrips.wustl.edu and then register the details of each trip through the system.
