۲ݮƵ Student Travel Registry app

۲ݮƵ Student Travel Registry is the official safety app for ۲ݮƵ students travelling outside of the Greater Montreal area on university sanctioned activities. The app allows ۲ݮƵ to keep a record of your travel dates and study destinations and to contact students in case the safety situation in the location they are visiting changes. All students travelling on a university-sanctioned activity must register their travel through the app at least 10 working days prior to their scheduled departure. You will receive alerts and check-in requests from ۲ݮƵ Abroad, via the app as well as your ۲ݮƵ email, in case the Government of Canada issues an “Avoid-Non-Essential Travel” or “Advise All Travel” advisory for your university-related travel destination.

What is a university-sanctioned activity?

University-sanctioned activities include:

  • Curricular programs
  • Credit or non-credit course work
  • Exchange programs
  • Field work
  • Research
  • Co-curricular activities (University-related internships)
  • Varsity sports

For the ۲ݮƵ Student Travel Registry app, university sanctioned activities include those where travel outside of the Greater Montreal area forms an essential part of the activity, whether or not the student is pursuing the activity for academic credit or recognition and whether or not the student receives University or third-party funding.

For more information, please review the “Policy on Student Safety Abroad”.
