正澳门六合彩开奖直播 recognizes that international study and work experiences are integral to students, faculty, residents and staff.
The safety and well-being of University employees and students who travel outside the United States for University-related activities is of paramount importance. Such travel can pose certain unique and increased risks to participants and to the university.
To best meet the medical needs of those who travel abroad, 正澳门六合彩开奖直播 maintains a comprehensive out-of-country medical and travel assistance program. The information on this page applies to university-sponsored international travel. Examples include study abroad programs, faculty-led study tours, faculty research, attendance at conferences and other meetings, recruiting, semester at sea, independent study and internships.
The insurance package provides coverage and services to: the University's Students when participating in University-sponsored and approved international study abroad programs; as well as to University Trustees, Faculty, Staff, Guests, and Volunteers while on approved international travel for University business.
The University's international travel coverage is intended to provide the first line of service and protection to the University's travelers. Prior to traveling, international travelers should still contact their personal health insurance company to make certain they understand what additional coverage they may have in place, or may want to put in place while traveling abroad. Any additional coverage purchased would be at the traveler's own expense.
Travelers interested in purchasing additional trip cancellation or delay insurance may do so below.

If travelers find it necessary to rent vehicles from an agency in a foreign country for approved University functions or business on a short-term basis, the vehicle should be rented in the name of the University.
Because of the difference in insurance requirements in other countries, departments should always purchase all available insurance provided by the rental agency.
All students participating in a sponsored activity (as individuals or in groups) must execute an off-campus travel waiver with 正澳门六合彩开奖直播 acknowledging that they understand the risks of travel, affirming that they have reviewed and understand relevant safety-related materials, and acknowledging that they assume the risks related to their international travel.
