The Domestic Travel Registry provides an efficient and effective way for the University of Missouri to know the location of and communicate with students participating in university-related domestic travel in response to a crisis or event that has the potential to negatively impact their health, safety or security. Information also may be used to document MU student participation in experiential learning and communicate with students about research they perform, if applicable.
All MU graduate and undergraduate students traveling individually or in groups within the United States and outside of Missouri and the adjoining metropolitan areas are required to register travel that meets one or more of the following criteria:
- Partially or fully funded by the University of Missouri.
- Related to an MU course or curriculum requirement.
- Organized by an MU faculty or staff member within the scope of their MU employment.
This policy does not apply to University of Missouri Athletics. It also does not apply to travel by student organizations unless the travel meets one or more of the criteria above. Mizzou Online students are not required to register their travel.
