Wellesley College Travel Assist Program
Please visit the Office of Risk Management's webpage for student travel abroad for further information.
The Travel Assist Program does not replace individual health insurance but rather provides supplemental coverage.
All travelers are also strongly encouraged to enroll in the US State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program in order to receive advisories and alerts relevant to their study abroad plans.
