International Travel
Step 3 in application process - If traveling internationally, apply for international insurance:
International Travel is available to students and Registered Student Organizations. International Travel requests are electronically approved by the Vice President for Student Affairs in addition to the President or their designee. This process applies to university-related student travel abroad (outside of the U.S. States and U.S. territories), except formal study abroad programs approved for academic credit via the Education Abroad office.
Student participants in events/programs/activities abroad outside of formal study abroad programs must . complete the travel notification process and purchase the University-approved international health insurance for the duration of the university-related travel. Personal travel must not be included. The insurance will be purchased through a self-enroll link provided in the travel notification application. This must be done prior to your travel. Once you enroll in the insurance, you will receive coverage documents to your email for documentation.
Contact Lindsay Hughes hughesl@fau.edu for assistance with this process.
NOTE: Students who request travel that is in their home country (if outside of U.S.A.) must provide a justification letter from their faculty advisor on how the conference is directly related and necessary for their educational program. This information will be used to determine if travel will be granted by the Student Travel Committee.
