On September 8 from 10am to 3pm in conjunction with Moravian College's Annual Study Abroad Fair at the Moravian College HUB, Moravian will offer the Global Entry Trusted Traveller program through representatives of the U. S. Customs and Border Protection Office of the Department of Homeland Security. As the date of the program of the program gets closer, more details will be provided to those who are interested in pre-registering for the program.Here is brief description of the program.  

Global Entry

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Participants may enter the United States by using automated kiosks located at select airports.

At airports, program participants proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and complete a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit.

Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment.

While Global Entry's goal is to speed travelers through the process, members may still be selected for further examination when entering the United States. Any violation of the program's terms and conditions will result in appropriate enforcement action and revocation of the traveler's membership privileges.
