International Travel Registration Policy

Rhodes College International Travel Registration Policy requires all faculty, staff, and students traveling abroad for College purposes to register their travel with the Buckman Center.  Travel abroad for College purposes includes but is not limited to an international activity funded in any part by Rhodes College; which receives academic credit from Rhodes College; or in which the traveler represents the College.  Such activities include travel to conferences abroad, research abroad, volunteer abroad, or study abroad.

Travel registration is NOT an approval process.  The information on travel plans will remain private and is only connected to an individual in case of emergency.  Travel registration will enable the College to enroll the individual in Rhodes College approved travel abroad health insurance.  This coverage also includes emergency evacuation in the event of political instability or a natural disaster.
