About the Travel Registry

The Travel Registry is a secure U-M website within Wolverine Access where you can record your itinerary and contact information. The Registry is especially helpful for international travel.

The Registry is a convenient, one-stop service that supports emergency communications, access to travel-abroad health insurance, and more. University faculty, staff, and students are expected to register when traveling abroad for academic, business or any other University-related purpose. In some cases, the University requires registration. Please see below for more information.

The Travel Registry also provides a secure site for you to store important contact and itinerary information for personal reference, now available as a mobile app.

Why should I sign up with the travel registry?

The Travel Registry provides several critical services:

Emergency Communications
In the event of an emergency, the Travel Registry will help the University get in touch with you, and will support your ability to reach us to get urgent safety, health, security, and related information.
Health Insurance
The Travel Registry provides direct access to enroll in travel-abroad health insurance at a nominal price. Students, faculty, and staff and their dependents are eligible.
Convenient Online Communications
The Registry gives you an online platform where you can share information with your department, your family, and others. A downloadable option is now available for handheld devices.

Who is required to register with the Travel Registry?

In accordance with the University's international travel policy, you must register complete itinerary and contact information if you are:

A student participating in University-sponsored programs abroad;
A student traveling, for any academic or other U-M-associated purpose, to a country where a U.S. State Department Travel Warning is in effect, requiring a signed waiver; or
A faculty or staff member, or a student, leading groups that include students.

Note: Schools, colleges and other University units may have additional travel registration requirements. Please check with your department for more information.

Who is authorized to use the Travel Registry?

The University requires registration in certain circumstances. In all cases, University faculty, staff, and students are expected to register when traveling abroad for academic, business or any other University-related purpose.

The Travel Registry may also be used for personal and leisure travel.

A University traveler may list accompanying family or friends who are not directly associated with the University.

Can administrators register travel on behalf of individuals or groups?

Your unit may elect to register travelers rather than ask travelers to self-register. (Whether administrator-assisted or self-registered, all travelers will be able to review their travel registration in the Wolverine Access Travel Registry and supplement or update personal information related to their trip.) To request administrator access to the Travel Registry, note the following:

Wolverine Access Travel Registry self-service access is automatically granted to faculty, students and staff on the Ann Arbor, Flint and Dearborn campuses. The direct link is https://heprod.dsc.umich.edu/services/RegisterYourTravel. (U-M Kerberos/weblogin is required.)
An administrator role is available to allow an authorized individual to register others, register groups, and copy trips from one traveler to another. Access must be requested through the Information and Technology Services (ITS) On-line Access Request System (OARS) and a short e-learning course must be completed before access is granted. To request access, navigate to OARS, and click the Role Selection Tool link. Click the Student Administration tab. The role is in the Campus Community section, CC TRAVEL REGISTRY USER. After the request is submitted, the administrator's Unit Liaison must approve the role request. Once approved, an email will be sent to the administrator with instructions to complete the My Linc e-learning course. Access is generally granted within two business days after course completion.
A view only role is also available; this may be useful for staff who have oversight responsibilities but will not be registering others. Follow the same steps as above but request the CC TRAVEL REGISTRY VIEWER role instead.

To learn more about the Travel Registry, view the recorded Travel Registry Interchange, held on October 27, 2010 or visit My Linc and search on "Travel Registry." The ITS Help Desk is also available to assist with access or software questions - 734/764-HELP (4357) or visit http://www.mais.umich.edu/help/#1.
