Personal Travel
Do Not Register Personal-Only Travel
The Travel Registry is for Cornell-related travel. While personal travel combined with Cornell-related trips may be registered (see below), do not register trips solely personal or unrelated to Cornell activities.
Personal/non-Cornell travel includes:
- Vacation or holiday travel
- Spring break trips that are not faculty-led
- Travel to/from home
- Student and/or independent organization trips
Cornell does not:
- Regulate personal travel
- Assume responsibility for travelers on personal travel
- Provide medical evacuation, security evacuation, or repatriation coverage for personal travel
Only register travel that is:
- Cornell directed or supervised: Travel fully supported and supervised by Cornell with university oversight, e.g., faculty-led international courses.
- Cornell facilitated or supported: Travel related to Cornell academic or professional objectives, including approved exchange programs, internships, in absentia status, study abroad, or travel funded by Cornell grants and scholarships.
Combined Personal and Cornell-Related Travel
You may register personal travel when it is combined with Cornell-related travel, provided the personal portion is limited to 14 days. Cornell's (Ithaca & Cornell Tech) emergency evacuation insurance covers up to 14 days of personal travel (sojourn) that occurs directly before, during, or after your Cornell-related trip.
When registering a combined trip:
- Select both the "Non-Cornell or Personal Travel" and "Cornell Funded, Directed, Supervised, or Facilitated Travel" checkboxes, as shown below.
