International Travel Guidelines
All undergraduate and graduate students are required to have health insurance coverage for basic medical services. This policy also applies to students participating in a university-sponsored international project. This coverage can be obtained by enrolling in the health and evacuation insurance program.
Faculty and staff traveling internationally for official University business should also have health and evacuation insurance.
Exclusions
Students, faculty, or staff whose international travel is independent of the University are not subject to this guideline.
Risk Management Rationale
Accidents or sicknesses that occur while traveling internationally pose unique challenges. Participants may need to familiarize themselves with their host country's medical services and locations. Language barriers and different billing requirements may affect prompt medical services. In addition, serious injuries may require medical evacuation or repatriation services. To make the travel experience safer, the UNC General Administration adopted insurance guidelines for all UNC System-sponsored international programs.
