Florida Poly considers the safety and security of its travelers a top priority. All faculty, students and staff traveling on a university-related trip outside of the United States are required to purchase the Florida Poly-approved international health and travel insurance. This comprehensive insurance ensures that travelers are able to access important medical and emergency support services while abroad such as doctor and hospital visits, travel assistance, security evacuation, repatriation of remains, emergency medical reunion, and more. While there may be affordable healthcare in-country, the additional support services provided in this insurance, as required by many schools nationwide, protect travelers for a variety of emergency and non-emergency events.
The Florida Poly-approved international insurance coverage is sponsored by Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) and administered through the Department of Risk Management. The Department of Risk Management must be notified of all planned international travel a minimum of 14 business days prior to international departure, and once the traveler's Spend Authorization is approved, Risk Management will purchase the coverage on behalf of the traveler(s). A traveler's department is responsible for the cost of the coverage.
