As of July 2015, the Office of Global Affairs has instated a new Travel Policy. Undergraduates/Graduates students traveling out of the country for university-sponsored or university-related purposes including: internships, research, service-learning, volunteer opportunities, conferences, registered student organization activities, student groups affiliated with academic departments, and other non-credit-bearing University programs must register with UConn Global Affairs in accordance with the UConn Student International Travel Policy. Students will be automatically enrolled and covered by Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) Health Insurance for the duration of their trips upon their completion of the UConn Global Affairs student travel registration form.
The UConn Travel Services form requires that graduate students obtain an "Ed Abroad Approval ID" in order to complete the form. This ID is only available to you when you complete your registration with UConn Global Affairs.
Faculty, staff, and postdoctoral research associates traveling to countries with a travel warning or alert must also register with UConn Global Affairs via the UConn Global Affairs faculty/staff registration form.
