Registering Your Trip
Why should I register my trip?
-
Policy 852: This policy requires the registration of all Rice-affiliated travel.
-
Emergency Support: In the event of a natural disaster, political unrest, or other crisis at your destination, Rice and International SOS need to be able to reach you quickly to confirm your safety. If you're not registered, we may not know where you are or how to help.
-
Real-Time Alerts: All Rice-affiliated travel is automatically registered with International SOS. You’ll receive safety, health, and travel updates from International SOS tailored to your specific destination, keeping you informed throughout your trip.
-
Support for International Travelers: For international students, faculty, and staff, travel registration allows Rice to maintain a record of your plans and proactively assist if reentry into the US becomes complicated.
-
Insurance Coverage: Registration is required to be eligible for Rice’s travel accident insurance. You must be registered in both the Rice Travel Registry and with International SOS to receive this coverage.
Do I need to register my personal travel?
While registering personal travel is not required under Policy 852, Rice strongly recommends it as a precautionary measure.
By registering, you allow us to check in with you in the event of an emergency or a significant change in the local security environment, helping ensure your safety and well-being, even when you're traveling independently.
