Study Abroad

Preventing Losses While Studying Abroad

You are required to have full coverage accident and health insurance to study abroad. Coverage should include "Bedside Visit" (emergency airline ticket for a family member to visit the sick student in the host country), repatriation (preparation of remains and transportation to home country in the event of death) and medical evacuation. You and your family need to know, before you leave, what your insurance covers and what may not be covered, outside the United States. In compliance with Georgia State University's Crisis Prevention & Management Policy, all students enrolled in a GSU program receive mandatory accident and health insurance, included in the cost of the programs. You also need to carry personal liability insurance against injury or damage caused by or resulting from your acts or omissions and property insurance to cover losses of money or property.
