Health Insurance
Effective summer 2009, student enrolled in JMU study abroad programs will be covered by a medical insurance policy administered by Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) for the period of time that they are participating in the JMU program. This is basic health coverage of up to $100,000 and covers medical evacuation. More information concerning the insurance plan will be distributed with your orientation materials. Insurance cards will be distributed by your program directors. Cancelling your current US policy is not advised. Disruption of coverage could cause problems when reinstating.

Trip Cancellation Insurance
In addition, students are strongly encouraged to purchase travel and trip cancellation insurance that would provide monetary support for non-refundable expenses and service charges imposed by public carriers and travel suppliers, including baggage loss or delay. JMU does not represent or act as an agent for, and cannot control the acts or omissions of, any host institution, host family, transportation carrier, hotel, tour organizer or other provider of goods or services involved in the program. In the event of a voluntary withdrawal, JMU may be unable to refund student fees; however, students may make claim for unrecoverable expenses through a travel insurance provider.
