Register an Individual Trip

How to Register

There are 3 ways to register individual travel:

1. An itinerary email can be forwarded from the traveler’s Penn email address.
2. An itinerary email can be forwarded from a delegate on behalf of the traveler. 
3. Travel can be manually entered directly into MyTrips. This can be useful for changes in travel details or reservations that cannot be forwarded.

Please see step-by-step instructions for each registration method on this page. This PDF one-pager on how to register is also available for download. 

Option 1: Forward Your Itinerary

1. Receive an email confirmation with travel itinerary.*
2. Forward that itinerary (without editing) TO: UPennTravel@itinerary.internationalsos.com 
   It’s important to forward the itinerary from your UPenn email address. 
3. You will receive two emails from ISOS. The first is to let you know the itinerary has been received. This will be followed by a second that your trip has been “successfully loaded.”
4. You are registered! 

Option 2: A Delegate Forwards Your Itinerary

1. Receive an email confirmation with a flight or hotel itinerary.*
2. Forward that itinerary (without editing) TO: the Traveler’s UPenn email address AND
   CC to:  UPennTravel-To@itinerary.internationalsos.com 
3. You will receive two emails from ISOS. The first is to let you know the itinerary has been received. This will be followed by a second email, sent to you and your traveler, that the trip has been “successfully loaded.“
4. The traveler is registered! 

Option 3: Manual Trip Entry

1. Log into your MyTrips account. Click on the “Create New Trip” button. 
2. On the “Create New Trip” page please enter the following information:
   • Provide a trip name.
   • Indicate whether this trip is for academic credit.
   • Select primary purpose of the trip.
   • Provide a brief description of the trip (optional).
   • Select the Sponsoring Penn School or Center. This is the school/center responsible for organizing/funding the trip (this may or may not be your home school).
   • Indicate whether you are traveling as a student, faculty or staff.
3. Once this information is provided, you can add a flight, accommodation, train or ground transportation. Not all of these tabs need to be completed. We ask that at minimum you provide information on your accommodation. In the event of an emergency, it is helpful to know where you are staying. This is not always the same location as the arrival airport included in your flight.
