New Redesigned UCSC Travel Resources for Travelers & Travel Arrangers
The new Travel Process page now contains an overview of the travel process from start to finish, with links that take you directly to desired information in the Travel Guide; eliminating the need to read through the entire guide when looking for important information. It also contains links to the Key Tips for UCSC Travelers page, which lists brief yet comprehensive explanations of the topics that customer feedback showed to be the most confusing.

Although the Travel Guide has not been rewritten, we have added new information within the guide to complement our new resources. As we make further progress improving the quality and usefulness of travel information, our plan is to implement new travel form instructions and "quick guides" for "before, while, and after" you travel, with detailed instructions for each stage of the travel process.
