Register Your International Plans
College of Engineering International Experience Registry

The College of Engineering requires all students (both undergraduate and graduate) to register their international experience with the International Programs in Engineering (IPE) office. Participants in IPE study abroad programs are already entered and do not need to complete this registry. International students should not register travel to their home countries.

While completing the registry, you may notice that the word "application" is used in reference to the registry process. Please be aware that this registry is NOT an application for overseas experience, and students are expected to apply through the appropriate program sponsor.

Note About Experiences Completed Prior to Fall 2011: The travel registry does not allow students to register experiences that were completed prior to Fall 2011. Please email the IPE office at ipe-office@umich.edu and we will assist you with registering your experience.
