Travel Registry
Who must complete Travel Registry?
Students: Travel Registry is required for San Diego State University (SDSU) undergraduate and graduate students traveling internationally, unless they have already applied to participate in an approved* SDSU international program in the SDSU Aztecs Abroad database.
Faculty & Staff: All SDSU faculty and staff must now complete the Travel Registry when planning to travel internationally for SDSU buisness-related travel.
* Approved SDSU international programs (e.g. SDSU exchange programs, SDSU partner programs and internships, SDSU faculty-led study abroad programs) do not require Travel Registry. Students on these programs apply via the SDSU Aztecs Abroad database, and complete all requirements within Aztecs Abroad.

In the Travel Registry, students will be asked to add a new trip, and select one of the highlighted categories of travel below.
