International

Risk Management & Insurance provides a variety of sources of information for individuals travelling internationally on University business. 

Registration of international travellers is beneficial for both the traveller and the University in the event of an emergency. These range from major incidents that impact the travellers such as a SARS outbreak, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or military coup, to localized incidents such as personal injury to the traveller or loss of their passport.

Situations where travellers may need to be accounted for and/or contacted are numerous, so registration provides another layer of protection for the University and its people. By registering, employees and students can be quickly accounted for, contacted, and given assistance where required.

Furthermore, some University of Guelph insurance policies which cover employees travelling outside the country on university business, require registration with risk management. Without this registration, there is a risk that this insurance coverage could be compromised. Registration is required by the University International Travel and Security policy.
