The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has revised the International Travel Safety Policy (CAM HR-39). The revised policy introduces new requirements and guidelines for university-related international travel.

Campus Required Checklist for all travel abroad

International Insurance: All university employees and all undergraduate and graduate Students participating in University-Related International Travel must enroll in the University-Approved International Insurance. Students, Faculty, and Staff enroll travel at https://safetyabroad.illinois.edu/insurance/enroll/index.html.

• The University of Illinois System pays the premiums for Faculty and Staff. Undergraduate and graduate Student travel is the responsibility of the student. Units will pay the premium fee for travel conducted in the course of assistantship responsibility. PI's, faculty, and mentors may have funding that they'd like to use to cover student insurance fees. Student travel insurance fees can be found here: https://safetyabroad.illinois.edu/insurance/enroll/

Questions about International Insurance, enrollment assistance, high-risk activities, and related questions may be directed to International Safety and Security at safetyabroad@illinois.edu.

• Driving should be the most economical mode of travel
  • Flights/other forms of transit will be priced out and the lesser expense reimbursed
• No gas receipts needed

Personal Vehicles Policy

• Acceptable rideshare uses:
  • Transport between lodging and airport/station for a conference
  • Transport from lodging to conference if not staying at conference hotel
  • Transport to a Business Meal if University business is conducted at meal
• Unacceptable rideshare uses:
  • Transport to restaurants for generic meals (these costs are factored into per diem)
  • Transport for personal use (e.g. shopping, sightseeing, personal time)
