Travel Insurance
The University of Kansas offers several travel insurance options that include business travel, emergency evacuation, and repatriation, as well as natural disaster and political risk evacuation.
Eligibility
All faculty, staff and student employees who travel on University business, as well as incidental leisure travel up to seven days before and after the scheduled end of the travel for University business, are eligible for travel insurance coverage. Qualified dependents (spouses and qualified dependent children up to age 26) traveling with you for University business purposes are also covered.
Enrollment
Prior to out-of-state or international travel for University business, all travelers (regardless of funding source) must have an approved travel authorization completed in the PeopleSoft travel and expense module. This can be accomplished by notifying the appropriate individual in the department processing travel or the unit’s shared service center of the individuals’ intent to travel. If you have questions regarding your travel authorization, please contact the KU Payables Department by email at payables@ku.edu or by phone at 785-864-3790.
