Travel Risk and Insurance

UC International Travel Risk Management Assistance

International travel risk management assessment and guidance is provided to different degrees at each UC campus. To learn what resources are available to travelers and international activity leaders from your campus, contact the designated Travel Risk Manager.

Travel registration is an important risk management tool for university-related travel. If an emergency occurs in your travel destination, this is how your campus Risk Management office will know you are there. Travel registration also enrolls you to receive travel alerts from UC’s security provider, Crisis24. Travel registration is required for all university-related foreign travel, regardless of US State Department Travel Advisory Level or travel purpose. Travel booked via Concur/ConnexUC is automatically registered or register travel manually via UCAway.

One pre-travel resource that is available to all UC employees and students is the UC Trip Planner travel intelligence web portal, powered by Crisis24. Use the Location Intel tab to find security ratings, location alerts, and other travel information for your destination. Access this site using your campus NetID and password.

The US State Department also provides valuable travel tools including Country Information Pages and the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), which facilitates delivery of security messages and makes it easier for the US government to locate you in an emergency.

Different UC campuses have different travel policies and protocols. These may be based on the security risk rating or whether comprehensive US sanctions are in effect in your planned destination. If you are unsure what travel policies or protocols might pertain to your travel, consult your Travel Risk Manager.

Those considering travel to Russia, Ukraine or the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region should review the UC Travel Advisories and consult with your campus Travel Risk Manager to understand what protocols your campus may have in place related to these UC systemwide travel advisories. They can also tell you what travel policies or protocols your campus may have in place for travel to countries with a high-security risk.
