GlobalInsurance is now available to purchase for University of Minnesota guests traveling for University business.
Guests will be able to access the same international health, security, medical, and evacuation insurance coverage provided to UMN travelers through On Call International when their travel is registered and paid for by a sponsoring unit.
Eligibility
University departments may purchase coverage for the following:
- Outbound UMN Guest: A UMN guest is someone who is traveling abroad for University business but is not employed by the University of Minnesota. This person is NOT a personal guest of a UMN traveler. This person’s travel should be necessary to perform work (e.g., research, consulting, training) undertaken by the University of Minnesota, and their travel expenses are normally paid for using University funds.

- Guest speaker invited to present at a UMN function or event
- Prospective employee (faculty or staff) from another country
- Short-term visitors for non-credit bearing educational or training programs sponsored by UMN
