Please be aware that UMN requirements to purchase CISI insurance and seek permission for any country on the DOS travel warning list (and some that may be on other lists, like CDC) apply to all students on any university program abroad, or any overseas program connected to their studies at UMN, even if organized through another organization including internships, field experiences, capstones, study away, research or even a student-organized trip (if planned and promoted as UMN).
**MDP students going on field experiences and all students taking courses through Learning Abroad Center please note that the LAC handles CISI and release and waiver automatically for you.
2011 example: UMN had 3 students in Egypt spring 2011 semester. Two had UMN
CISI insurance and were quickly and efficiently repatriated from AU of Cairo via Madrid by the insurance company's security provider; a third student (unknown to UMN until he gave an interview to a media outlet) did not have insurance. He spent several days (3 days his family could not find him) in the Cairo airport, signed a promissory note to reimburse the US government for his evacuation flight to Istanbul ($2,000), and had to pay his costs in Istanbul as well as a new ticket home.

Travel Approval
The University of Minnesota encourages its students to participate in education experiences abroad. To minimize health and safety risks, University policy requires students, or faculty/staff leading students, traveling to countries on the US Department of State's travel warning list to seek special permission.
In addition, travelers may be required to submit a request for permission to travel to locations or participate in programs that pose a specific health, safety, or security concern as indicated by authorities other than the U.S. Department of State such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), non-U.S. government authorities (e.g., Australian or Canadian authorities), and University of Minnesota authorities.
The International Travel Risk Assessment and Advisory Committee will review
requests to travel to these countries. Applicants are encouraged to apply early. The committee review process commonly takes 6 to 8 weeks.
Please also note that even if students aren't going to a Travel Warning country, faculty/staff approving/sponsoring the travel are still required to assure students meet the policy requirements at: http://www.policy.umn.edu/Policies/Education/Student/EDABROAD_PROC02.html(insurance, release and waiver and emergency communication plan).
