ITRIP: International Travel Readiness and Information Portal
Everything you need for Emory University international travel, all in one place.
Emory Global Engagement is excited to launch the International Travel Readiness and Information Portal (ITRIP). Starting September 1, 2026, Emory University faculty, staff, and students must share their upcoming international travel plans before booking to receive customized guidance, applicable university requirements, and recommendations based on their specific destination and itinerary.
Planning international travel for research, teaching, a conference, or other Emory University related travel? ITRIP will serve as a central portal for information and requirements University travelers need throughout the international travel planning process.
Entering your travel plans in ITRIP only takes a few minutes, and for many destinations, depending on the risks associated with the travel plan, travelers will receive a ‘Emory travel-ready' status within two business days.
By entering your upcoming travel in ITRIP, travelers will receive:
Personalized guidance on University policies, requirements, and travel considerations specific to your destination and itinerary.
Access to Emory's Global Assistance Program, including travel assistance services, international travel insurance benefits, real-time destination information, and safety alerts.
Timely support during emergencies, with the University able to quickly provide assistance and coordinate resources in the event of a medical, security, natural disaster, or other crisis abroad.
Peace of mind knowing that your travel plans meet university requirements and that support is available wherever your travels take you.
