The BRC Travel & Entertainment team is happy to announce that it has opened its October Global Entry mobile enrollment event to both UCOP staff and their family members.

To secure an appointment, UCOP employees and family members must apply online for conditional approval and provide pre-approval information when scheduling an appointment. Keep reading for more information and instructions. The event will be held October 14–18 and October 21–25 in the Oakland Franklin building, room 9115.

What is Global Entry?

Similar to TSA Pre✓, Global Entry expedites airline passenger security screenings. Global Entry can be used within the U.S. and in many international airports. Members enter through automatic Global Entry kiosks at select airports where they present their machine-readable passport (or U.S. permanent resident card), scan their fingerprints and complete a customs declaration. The kiosk issues a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit.

Global Entry benefits

• No processing lines
• No paperwork
• Access to expedited entry benefits in other countries
• Available at major U.S. airports
• Reduced wait times
• TSA Pre✓ Eligibility

If you wish to have an assistant coordinate your appointment, please include their contact information in your appointment request.
7. Confirm your appointment
   The BRC team member will follow up with a confirmation email, noting the date and time of your appointment. Respond to this email to confirm your appointment.
