| Your
Itinerary
Be sure to leave
your itinerary with your department and at least one other person. Students should
leave their itinerary with a family member and, if they are participating in an
overseas program, with the resident program director.
The University
of Michigan requires all faculty, staff, and students who are planning University-related
international travel (outside the United States) to provide emergency contact
information. Such travel may be conducted for study, research, participation in
sponsored projects or programs, business, or other purposes. To register this
contact information, please go to the UM International Travel Registration Web
Site https://websvcs.itcs.umich.edu/itoc-bin/main. A UM login is required to access this site.
Please consult
the UM International Travel Information Web Site http://www.umich.edu/itoc/
for information concerning overseas travel. Keep in mind that your hosts at the
research/business site also need to know your daily schedule. One way to ensure
privacy is to leave someone in your department a sealed envelope containing your
travel plans and contact numbers with the understanding that the envelope would
be opened only in case of emergency.
If you are traveling
outside the U.S. and your travel location is high risk,
it is advisable to leave word at your hotel or other accommodation
as well as the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. This assures
that someone knows when you are expected to return and how
to reach you in an emergency. For contact information for
all U.S. embassies and consulates, see http://www.usembassy.state.gov.
Faculty, staff, and students traveling outside the United States on University-related activities are strongly advised to provide emergency contact information on the International Travel Oversight Committee’s International Travel Registry at: www.umich.edu/~itoc. The registry asks for the traveler’s departure and return dates, on-site contact information, and emergency contact in the U.S. The information entered is accessible by UM’s Department of Public Safety, and can be used to provide support to UM faculty, staff, and students while abroad in the event of an emergency or other situation requiring urgent communication.
