Be Safe. The State Department also urges students to stay connected while they travel. All U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad may sign up online for Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. STEP enrollment makes it possible for the State Department to contact the student traveler in the case of a family emergency in the United States. The U.S. government can contact families of the students in the event of a crisis in a foreign country.

According to the State Department, safety and security updates are automatically sent to the enrolled citizen so they can make informed trip-planning decisions. The STEM is free and takes less than five minutes to register online.

The U.S. government reiterates that its priority is to ensure that students return home safely. It always stresses that a well-informed traveler is a safer traveler.
