1. Creating a MyTrips account

Go to the MyTrips page and select “New user? Register here.”

Fill in the required information, using your EPFL email address.

(Tip : If you’re struggling to create a password because you have to use a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters, try something with the format “HoN65df@89.” But don’t copy this one – create your own !)

You will receive a confirmation email at the address you provide. Click on the link in the email to activate your MyTrips account.

You will then be asked to complete your MyTrips profile by entering the information requested under “My Profile.” Click on “Edit” to enter the information. When you’re done, don’t forget to click “Update” at the bottom of the page.

2. Entering trip information

Once you have created a MyTrips account, you can enter the information for your trip. Click on “Create New Trip” at the bottom of the page.

Type in the name of your trip and a brief description. Next, fill in the information requested under the various tabs (flight numbers, hotel addresses, train tickets, road itineraries, etc.).

Be as complete as possible when entering this information. Even if you don’t know the exact details about something, enter all the information you do have. (Tip : Before switching from one tab to the next, you must click either “Save” or “Cancel”).

Once you have entered all your information, click “Save Trip Information.” (Tip : Click on the pencil or X icon to edit or delete information you’ve already entered).

Congratulations ! Your trip has now been added to our travel assistance program and entered into our database. You can now return to “My Profile” or log out of MyTrips.

You can edit your trip information at any time by logging back into your MyTrips account.
