Risk Management

Traveling off campus is a great experience that may come with some risk. Please consider the following while planning and leading a Study Abroad Program:

  • Consider purchasing travel insurance for yourself and encourage your students to do the same. 
  • Always travel with a cell phone that works in the destination country or countries, and please give the number to Study Abroad.
  • Seriously consider booking your air travel as a group through Study Abroad. Traveling as a group is always a good idea – remember that some students may not have traveled before, especially internationally. If you decide to book airfare individually, please have all participants’ itinerary in case of an emergency. To book group airfare travel information including name, birthdate, and gender as listed on the ID/passport will be needed. 
  • Provide students with emergency contact information.
