Register
Registration for Odyssey trips in 2024 is not yet open.
Registering for Odyssey is a simple four step process. Please read this page completely before proceeding to the registration form.
Step 1:
Browse through our Trip Catalog and pick out your three favorite trip choices. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
Step 2:
Read through our Cancellation Policy.
Step 3: Complete the Registration Form
The online registration form will be uploaded in mid-December, 2024.
Please only submit a registration form once. Trippers will receive a confirmation email with their trip assignment within 72 hours of registering. Odyssey tries very hard to give all trippers their first or second choice trip, but occasionally that is not possible.
Step 4: Complete and submit the Supplementary Forms
Odyssey requires all participants submit the following documents to the Odyssey office via this Online Form by July 15th, doing so secures your spot on a trip. Forms can be submitted any time after receiving your trip placement information.
-
Medical History - Please be sure to include your insurance carrier and policy number. We will ask you to resubmit if any information is incomplete.
- Participant Waiver
- Equipment Rental Form - Before receiving your assignment, you should access the Equipment Lists for the trips you would like to participate, and gain an idea of the items you do not yet have. Odyssey encourages trippers to rent gear from Cornell Outdoor Education's Outfitting Center if they do not already have it. Please complete even if you do not wish to rent gear.
- Financial Assistance (Optional): Anyone who is in need of financial aid WILL BE GRANTED financial aid.
If you have any questions about the Registration process, email us at coe.odyssey@gmail.com.
Additional Information
Logistics
Trippers will arrive between 11:00AM and 1:00PM on the start date of their trip, and store any belongings they have at our locked, North Campus storage location. Trips will depart early the next morning. All trips will conclude the morning of Cornell Move-in-Day. From this point, guides usually help trippers check-in, get their Cornell ID's, and move into their dorms. If you have questions please consult the trip and FAQ pages. If you don't find answers there, email us at coe.odyssey@gmail.com.
Trip Specifics
In July, all registered trippers will receive emails from their guides and the coordinator with further specifics on their Odyssey trip. Trippers will be called by their guides in the weeks before the trip so that any lingering questions can be answered.
