Travel Insurance

Each travel program is designed to care for your safety and comfort while abroad. In the case of unforeseen incidents, travel insurance is an important precaution to protect you, your family and your investment.

Travel Insurance Services (TIS) is an independent insurance agency that offers travel insurance to our alumni travel community. This optional insurance coverage is available for:

• trip cancellation/interruption,
• baggage,
• emergency medical and evacuation expenses,
• emergency assistance services.

After your reservation is confirmed, we will mail you information about this travel insurance plan, including costs and application forms. When you enroll with TIS, they will mail you a certificate of insurance that describes the policy provisions. If you need to make a claim, you will contact Travel Insurance Services directly.

Whether you select the insurance coverage provided by TIS or another insurance agency of your choice, we strongly recommend for your protection that you purchase trip cancellation insurance.
