How to Register

About 
All Radford University Employees and students traveling on university business are automatically enrolled in our international traveler insurance program when you register your travel via the required International Trip and Insurance form (above). Medical identification cards will be emailed upon enrollment and travelers should carry the card with them while traveling. The plan covers evacuation, repatriation, and medical coverage while traveling abroad. 

For students, the cost of the insurance will automatically be billed to their student account. For faculty, staff and guests, the cost of the insurance will be billed to the appropriate department or unit.


Other health insurance plans are not accepted.
