GVSU Travel Accident and Sickness Insurance Registration Form: Faculty and Staff

* denotes a required field

Faculty & staff participating in GVSU affiliated international travel must use this form to register for the GVSU International Accident and Sickness Insurance program.   

Registering will ensure that travelers are covered under all applicable GVSU assistance and insurance policies. Registration also assists the Padnos International Center in keeping travelers informed as much as possible of potential risks (health/safety, financial, IT security, Research Compliance, etc.). In case of an emergency, we can best assist you if your trip is registered and your travel details are listed.  

Costs

  • Faculty and staff will have access to this plan free of charge while on GVSU sponsored travel. 
  • Spouses and dependents of GVSU faculty traveling on university-related business are eligible for the university's optional international accident and sickness insurance. The faculty/staff member is responsible for purchasing the insurance and paying for all costs associated with family members' coverage.
    • IMPORTANT: To calculate the number of days, you can use a date calculator. The daily rate is $1.91 for spouses and dependents (rates are subject to change). If travel exceeds 100 days, please reach out to [email protected]

Key Considerations

If you are traveling to any embargoed/sanctioned/prohibited country on behalf of GVSU and/or taking any GVSU-owned items to these locations, you are required to notify the Office of Research Compliance and Integrity. Additionally, regardless of your international destination, if you are taking a GVSU-owned device that contains enhanced encryption software (including, but not limited to, VPN software [such as GlobalProtect or Ivanti VPN] and SAS statistical software), you will need to contact the Office of Research Compliance and Integrity for further export documentation. They can be reached at [email protected], or by calling (616) 331-3197

NOTE: This is specifically for international university-related travel. Please fill out separate forms for each traveler.
