REGISTRATION
The new coverage is provided at no cost to students. To deliver the services and protections offered by this coverage to the thousands of University students participating in UC-sponsored programs all around the world, the University needs accurate information about where its students are. Therefore, the University requires all students participating in UC-sponsored programs and traveling out-of-state or overseas to register their travel plans prior to departure. Students register by going to www.uctravel.org and filling out the "Business Traveler Insurance" form.
When the traveler registers s/he will obtain a Confirmation of Coverage card. The Card will facilitate the traveler's ability to obtain services and should be carried by the traveler until s/he returns from the trip. Upon registration, the traveler will also receive an important list of telephone numbers for medical emergency care or travel assistance.
