Online Travel Registration

A recent DDD issued by the Provost, requires students, faculty and staff who are traveling abroad to register all UF business related international travel with the UF International Center. By registering online, faculty, staff and students will be enrolled in MEDEX, an emergency assistance plan. Departments are to assume responsibility to pay charges incurred in delivering emergency assistance to persons on university business who are not enrolled in MEDEX.

To register an international trip online, simply log on with your Gatorlink username and password (your directory information will be automatically displayed). Please provide emergency contact information, destination(s), dates and foreign site contact information, then print your MEDEX card and policy brochure.

If you cannot find your destination or have any other technical problem with this application, contact Raymond Lukowe. For any other question, please contact Linda Gritman or Yanping Cheng.

Note: MEDEX is not a health insurance policy. MEDEX is a 24-hour emergency support system to offer immediate, effective help to students, faculty and staff including emergency evacuation, repatriation, and other travel assistance services. 

For non-UF International travelers and for pleasure trips, Emergency Assistance can be purchased on the MEDEX website.

Checklist for International Travel: Please print and complete the following check list for submission to your department, before your Travel Authorization is completed.

Group Travel

All students who participate in one of the many international trips through the Health Sciences, a UF College or Student Government are required to purchase CISI insurance through the UF International Center, unless they have GatorGradCare. The trip leader should submit one check made out to the University of Florida that covers all trip participants at $30/month per person. Along with the check, the trip leader will have to submit a completed enrollment spreadsheet to our office. (Please add all participants to the spreadsheet and indicate whether or not they have GatorGradCare insurance). All students and accompanying faculty will also have to complete the online travel registration.
