International Travel Registration

Applicability

All faculty, students, and staff traveling on a University-Affiliated International Activity must register their travel plans with the University using the GoGlobal portal. To determine if your upcoming trip requires this Travel Registration, please review the information below:

University-Affiliated International Activities

University-Affiliated International Activities include (but are not limited to):

  • Independent study, research, and fieldwork
  • Business-related travel
  • Professional membership meeting and conference attendance, and
  • Loyola-affiliated travel for non-credit activities such as those related to student organizations or international travel for University Athletics.

Approved Study Abroad Programs

If you are traveling internationally as part of an organized program, your Travel Registration will occur through a group registration process coordinated by the sponsoring department or program. You do not need to register your travel using the links on this page.

Instead, please visit the Study Abroad Office's Independent and Graduate/Professional Travel Registration page for information on how to register your group travel.

Travel not subject to this policy

Travel Registration for University-Affiliated International Activities does not apply to the following forms of travel:

  • International travel for personal purposes (e.g., vacation; visiting friends and/or family abroad)
  • Loyola students who travel abroad during a leave of absence from Loyola or who are not enrolled as Loyola students during the term they are traveling abroad
  • International travel for work outside of the scope of your employment at Loyola (e.g., private consultancy)

For complete information on University-Affiliated International Activities and guidelines, please review the International Travel and Safety Policy here.

Travel Registration Process

Step 1

Determine your eligibility

If you are traveling independently as part of a University-Affiliated International Activity, proceed to Step 2. If you are traveling as part of an organized, approved study abroad program, your Travel Registration will occur through a group process coordinated by the sponsoring unit. Click the link below for more information.

Step 2

Register your travel in the GoGlobal portal

For eligible applicants, the second step in the Travel Registration process is to register your trip within the GoGlobal portal. You’ll be asked to answer some questionnaires related to your travel plans and upload travel documents.

Step 3

Enroll in CISI travel insurance

After completing the Travel Registration process, eligible travelers are required to enroll in CISI travel insurance coverage. CISI enrollment is a mandatory requirement for all travel related to University-Affiliated International Activities. You will be prompted to self-enroll as part of the GoGlobal registration process. Step-by-step instructions on how to enroll are included within the GoGlobal portal. More information on CISI insurance can be found below.


CISI Insurance

CISI insurance provides coverage for international travel needs not typically included in standard plans, such as emergency medical care, evacuation, and transport. CISI enrollment is a mandatory requirement for all travel related to University-Affiliated International Activities. Eligible participants will receive their insurance card and policy details via email prior to departure. After enrolling, please monitor your inbox for an email from @culturalinsurance.com.

Please note: If you are traveling as part of an organized, approved study abroad program, your CISI insurance enrollment will be completed through a group process coordinated by the sponsoring unit. No separate self‑enrollment is required.

Policy Brochures

Once enrolled, log in to the myCISI portal to access insurance documents, emergency contacts, and optional trip interruption coverage. Review the myCISI Participant Portal Guide and the myCISI Traveler App Guide.

CISI insurance costs should be included as a budgeted expense for the University‑Affiliated International Activity. Spouse or dependent coverage may be added at the traveler’s expense and must be registered separately if participating in an approved program.
