Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)

All DIS students are encouraged to register with the U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for the duration of their time with DIS, as well as all travel (DIS-sponsored and independent) before, during, and after their program.

This allows the U.S. Department of State to send updates relevant to their travel and allows the Embassy to contact them directly in case of an emergency.

Know your embassy

Before traveling, find out where the nearest embassy will be located. Save the embassy’s contact information in your phone in case of an emergency. Non-U.S. citizens will find similar information from their government online or by calling your government’s representative in the U.S.
