Required Safety and Security Monitoring (SSM) Charge: Graduate and undergraduate students traveling internationally are required to register with USF World for any and all activities associated with their status as USF students per USF Policy 10-507. The SSM charge helps to support the activities of the International Risk and Security Office (IRSO) – a unit within USF World. Charges are as follows: 1-14 days $30; 15-28 days $40; and 29 days or more $50. The SSM charge supports the University’s monitoring of international events and conditions that affect the wellbeing of travelers, 24/7 assistance while abroad, and other activities associated with risk mitigation. During the registration process, the traveler will be asked to identify what entity will be responsible for this charge. It may be paid by the traveler (Oasis account), or from a USF departmental or college account.

Comprehensive International Medical and Evacuation Insurance: USF’s International Health and Evacuation Insurance is paid for by USF and is mandatory but only covers the dates of authorized travel. Travelers may purchase the same coverage for independent travel outside the dates of authorized travel. Contact GlobalTravel@usf.edu for more information. The insurance provides 24/7 medical and emergency support for USF registered travelers.
