Health Insurance
Health insurance is required for travel outside the United States. International health insurance is available from Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) at a nominal cost to faculty, students and staff traveling abroad on a Colgate-sponsored activity; for international travel only.

Upon enrollment, CISI will send an email enrollees can use to:
- Print their participant ID card

Individuals will generally have no co-pays for covered medical care. If you do pre-pay, you can submit a claim for reimbursement.
CISI additionally provides coverage for:

Note: It is advised that students maintain their domestic medical insurance while abroad.
