Harvard College Student Organization Travel Insurance

International SOS (I-SOS) provides you with emergency assistance services 24 hours a day.

• If you are in a dangerous location, International SOS can help to get you out
• If you are traveling abroad and need medical care, International SOS can provide it, or get you to a medical facility

Harvard will provide I-SOS coverage to all students, faculty, and staff in Harvard related events abroad (e.g. student-run overseas
programs, HAA-sponsored trips, Summer School Study Abroad, Harvard-sponsored executive education programs outside the U.S.)

Harvard and non-Harvard participants complete all participant forms. Non-Harvard participants in your program are encouraged to
contact International SOS directly to arrange individual coverage for the duration of the program.
