Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance Information for University Employees

Currently, the University does not provide blanket travel insurance coverage for faculty or staff traveling on university-related business. However, coverage may be available through the University’s existing insurance policies, which include:

• Workers' Compensation Insurance – Applies in cases of work-related injuries sustained while traveling.
• General Liability & Auto Liability Statutory Coverages-Applies to liabilities caused by the negligence of employees while traveling.

No action is required from faculty or staff to be eligible for these policies. However, all university-related travel must be booked in accordance with the University’s administrative policies and procedures to ensure coverage applicability and to support traveler safety. Visit the UNM Travel webpage for more information including travel booking tools and options that save time, money, and include more benefits.

Optional International Travel Insurance

For those seeking more comprehensive travel insurance, the University recognizes Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) as a current provider. This insurance option has been effectively used by the Global Education Office for study abroad programs and may be a valuable option for travelers looking for added protection.

We encourage all employees to carefully consider their travel insurance needs before departure and to reach out to the Risk Services or Global Education Office for more specific guidance.
