International Travel Insurance

Traveler should understand the risks of their destination and have an early awareness as to the destination’s status if a "high risk destination" or not. The following resources can aid in such awareness:

• US State Department’s Alerts and Warnings website

For War Risk Countries (President and Chancellor approval required) a security plan is required.

Note: For “high risk destinations", plan for extra time –a minimum of 30 days should be expected to process the approvals and insurance underwriter to bind coverage.

1. Complete Travel Authorization Request Form (TARF)
2. The insurance underwriters require additional information to bind coverage. Please attach all documentation to travel request.
   • Completed TARF with all signatures: President/Provost/Deans
   • One U.S. Emergency Contact (name and email)
   • Hotel Reservation
   • Itinerary of Conference/trip
   • Flight Reservations
