All eligible graduate and professional students traveling internationally for University purposes must enroll in GeoBlue, the University’s Global Health Insurance program. They also must adhere to the following requirements:
- Register their trip with OGSS through the Northwestern Travel Registry, regardless of destination. Exceptions apply for travel to one’s home country. Proof of registry may be required for reimbursement or travel reconciliation upon return.
- Follow other relevant graduate student travel policies.
