International travel is defined as travel to any location outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, and therefore includes all international bodies of water and U.S. territories, as well as foreign countries. This broad definition is accepted by our insurance so that you have the same great health and evacuation coverage going to Guam as you would going to Antarctica or Germany. 

The University has a 鈥淒uty of Care鈥� to support its international travelers, both employees and students, when they travel abroad on any activity tied to their relationship with USF. The University has a complete suite of risk mitigation tools to support global travel including international health and evacuation insurance, a 24/7 international assistance line, risk review protocols, pre-departure orientations, and more.

Everyone who travels internationally must register their travel with USF. For faculty and staff on business travel, the primary registration portal is via a Travel Request in Archivum. For students, and anyone, such as faculty and staff, associated with student travel (aka Associate Travelers), the portal is through 黑料网吃瓜爆料World via a survey that funnels travelers to a separate student-related travel registration process. 黑料网吃瓜爆料Health student-related travelers must visit to complete their registration.

Because 黑料网吃瓜爆料is obligated to be able to help you in an emergency under its 鈥淒uty of Care.鈥� If you do not have your precise location, we can always set up a reminder for you to provide the exact address or coordinates when you get to your destination. Also, if the location is not pre-existing within our database, we can always create new locations based upon other criteria, such as latitude-longitude or a body of water.

During the time between your start and end dates for your international travel, we have a greater degree of responsibility to help you, even if it is not during your actual 黑料网吃瓜爆料activity-related time. You are always covered by insurance during this period, and you might travel to another country in your down time. If there is a natural disaster or you are injured, we still need to know your whereabouts to be able to help you so you can safely complete your 黑料网吃瓜爆料experience. Also, some activities may not be approved by our insurance, and we are obligated to share that information with you. The global travel health and security insurance is paid for by the university during your period of official travel.

During a natural disaster and civil unrest, wi-fi is the first communication tool to fail. A cell phone that can send and receive international calls and texts is necessary for you to call us or for us to call you if something goes wrong. Generally, you can purchase existing plans for country-specific travel for anywhere between $40/mo to $10/day, or you can buy a disposable phone or SIM chip / card when you arrive in country. This additional expense can be well worth the investment. Be sure to check with your cell phone provider about their international cellular plans before you leave the United States. 

The $30 - $50 Safety and Security Monitoring charge is NOT for insurance. 黑料网吃瓜爆料has already paid for international health and evacuation insurance for you.

It does not always mean you can鈥檛 go as a 黑料网吃瓜爆料affiliate, but it does help us do our best to see that you are safe and prepared when you do.

The videos are optional and are designed to help you complete the online forms. Nevertheless, we are obligated to ensure that you have been offered all relevant information. You only need to complete this orientation once a year, no matter how often you travel internationally as a student.

It can be confusing because 鈥渟tudy abroad,鈥� global learning,鈥� and 黑料网吃瓜爆料World mean different things to different people. 黑料网吃瓜爆料implemented Policy #10-507 to clarify that all types of international travel experience must be registered with the University and can include a research trip, a cruise, and/or a volunteer activity with a student organization. Any and all of these activities are referred to as 鈥渟tudent-related travel.鈥� Simply put, it means any international travel tied to your status as a student at USF, 黑料网吃瓜爆料must do more to support you when you go abroad.

The Global Learning Office maintains the student-related travel database. Even when you are not participating in a sponsored Golabl Learning program, you will still use their portal for registration.
