Travel Registry
Travel Registration is required for San Diego State University (SDSU) undergraduate and graduate students traveling internationally, unless they have already applied to participate in an approved SDSU international program in this database (e.g. SDSU exchange programs, SDSU partner programs, SDSU faculty-led study abroad programs).
Types of SDSU International Activities:
1. Approved SDSU international programs (e.g. SDSU exchange programs, SDSU partner programs, SDSU faculty-led study abroad programs):
2. Independent International Internships:
3. International Travel through SDSU Student Clubs and Organizations:
4. Other SDSU International Travel (Research, Conferences, Grant-funded Travel):
5. Non-SDSU International Travel:
Health & Safety: Travel Registration allows SDSU to monitor and communicate with affected students in the case of a health and safety emergency.
Insurance: All Travel Registration applicants except those on non-SDSU travel are required to enroll in the SDSU Foreign Travel Insurance. Instructions to enroll in this plan are included within the travel registration process.
Deadlines / Timeline: Travel Registration should be completed as soon as your participation is confirmed. If your travel dates change, it is your responsibility to edit your dates of travel in Aztecs Abroad and on your SDSU Foreign Travel Insurance. If you decide not to travel, you must contact globaleducationoffice@sdsu.edu immediately to withdraw this registration. It is your responsibility to cancel your SDSU Foreign Travel Insurance.
