Insurance

All students, faculty, staff and guests participating in any international experience supported and/or funded by Radford University (study, internship, service learning, teaching, conference, research program, etc.) are required, and will be automatically enrolled, in the mandatory RU Education Abroad Health Insurance Plan administered by CISI. Other health insurance plans are not accepted.
  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.
ENROLLMENT
Individual Trip and Insurance Registration 

After you've registered your trip with MCGEE, you will receive an welcome email from CISI with your electronic ID. You will then need to create an account in CISI's website in order to access the details of your policy, obtain visa letters, and others. It is important that participants familiarize themselves with the CISI website, their claims process, and other medical information prior to departure.
 
EXCEPTIONS
  1. If a foreign government requires a student to enroll in their health insurance plan as a requirement for participation in their study abroad program, the student will not be required to enroll in the RU Education Abroad Health Insurance Plan.
  2. Students attending a program in the U.S. or any American territory will not be enrolled in the RU Education Abroad Health Insurance Plan.
  3. Students attending an ISEP program will be required to participate in the ISEP health insurance program. As a result, students will not be required to enroll in the RU Education Abroad Health Insurance Plan.
  4. Students attending a study abroad program in which the international health insurance is included as part of the program fees will not be required to enroll in the RU Education Abroad Health Insurance Plan.

ADDITIONAL TRIP INTERRUPTION INSURANCE

Students interested in additional travel interruption protection, such as Cancellation for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage, may want to visit InsureMyTrip for more information. Please note that students who purchase additional coverage must pay for that coverage directly to InsureMyTrip at the time of purchase. This is not billed through a student's account at RU.
