Group Travel Registration Worksheet

To register a group of Harvard-sponsored travelers (at least two or more people) with International SOS, you'll need to use the Group Travel Registration Worksheet.

Common users of the worksheet are program administrators registering a group of faculty on alumni travel trips, and students on a study abroad trip, class-related trip, or athletic team trip.

3. We'll upload the information into International SOS MyTrips

Once we upload the data, International SOS will send each traveler an email confirmation.

If they have a Harvard email address, they can log in to MyTrips to create a profile (if they haven't already) and verify and add to their trip information.

If they don't have a Harvard email address, send us any changes to their itinerary, and we'll update it.
