Note: Visit Yale's International SOS main page for more comprehensive information.
All Yale College students are automatically covered by International SOS (ISOS) for global travel assistance and evacuation services when you are more than 100 miles from your permanent residence.
*For students participating in an approved study abroad program, ISOS provides coverage for up to $250,000 in out-of-country medical expenses for treatment of illness or injury that occur while participating in your program. This coverage includes 14 days of personal travel deviation outside of the program dates. (Note: Travel assistance and evacuation coverage applies at all times. Only the out-of-country medical expenses are limited to the program dates and 14 additional days.) ISOS is not health insurance and cannot cover routine costs.
Travelers who hold citizenship or have primary residence outside of the United States and will undertake Yale-related business (including students traveling on study abroad programs, doing research, attending conferences, or student organization travel) in their country of citizenship or primary residence may not have full access to ISOS medical and evacuation services. Other International SOS services remain available as needed, such as medical referrals, lost document assistance, and mental health services. Please contact risk.management@yale.edu if you have questions about eligibility for coverage when undertaking university business in your country of citizenship or primary residence.
Students taking a leave of absence from Yale College continue to have access to International SOS travel assistance and evacuation services. However, as with all personal travel not sponsored by Yale, out-of-country medical coverage is not available to students while on a leave of absence. Students on a leave of absence also do not have coverage through the Yale Health plan. Please contact Yale Health Member Services for more information and visit the Yale International Toolkit for more insurance options. We also encourage you to speak with a parent/guardian about individual or governmental insurance plans available to you.
