Travel Updates
At some point you may experience closings of public offices and administration, cancellations or large gatherings, and precautionary measures during travel. We urge students traveling to follow the health and safety guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Prior to traveling, students need to check with airlines regarding any flight cancellations and/or restrictions on flying.
AIG Insurance
Students, participants, faculty, and staff on university-sponsored travel have Medical and Security insurance through AIG Travel Guard or ISEP. These insurance providers have extensive up-to-date information on their websites and are available 24/7 should you have any concerns.
To access the AIG portal for travel news and worldwide information, go to aig.com/us/travelguardassistance. You will need your AIG policy number to create a profile, if you have not already. You will be able to access current country-specific and health information. If a student is studying abroad through ISEP, please check with ISEP’s insurance information and resources.
For updates and additional information, please monitor the WHO and CDC webpages on COVID-19.
