Setting up a traveler profile

Connexxus tutorial

Note: You must establish a profile to book university business travel through Connexxus, UC's travel program. To receive Connexxus discounts at Starwood hotels you must also enroll in Starwood's preferred guest program.

Travel Preparers: The initial profile must be created by the traveler. If the traveler prefers to have you complete their profile, they must first complete the required fields (first name and middle initial, address, city, state, zip code, country, business phone, and preferred airport) and assign you as the arranger with Can Access privileges as described in Step 2c below.
