Travel Registry

• Group Travel: If students plan to participate in any international travel for activities sanctioned by a registered SDSU student club or organization and this trip will involve group travel, the Group Leader must FIRST request Group Leader status and receive email notification from the SDSU International Safety Unit (ISU) that they have been so granted BEFORE they register the proposed travel for approval through the Travel Registry system and create a Group Trip.
  • After the Group Leader receives the email notification from the ISU that they've been granted Group Leader status, the Group Leader can create the initial Group Trip in Travel Registry and add Group Members to the trip, including the student participants and other faculty/staff members traveling with the group. 
  • ISU will then review the trip and approve or deny it.
  • The Group Trip leader will receive an email notification via Travel Registry as to the approval / denial of the trip.
• Required: The Group Leader must submit the travel through Travel Registry no less than 45 days prior to departure.
  • All travelers must complete the required action items of the Group Trip for Travel Registry.
  • All travelers must purchase SDSU Travel Abroad Insurance.

You need to first be given access as a Group Leader before you create a Group Trip through Travel Registry for submission.
