The University of Delaware has contracted with International SOS to provide emergency travel assistance and evacuation services to all University students and employees traveling outside the U.S. on University-related business. By logging on to SOS’ web site, covered individuals can access travel health and safety reports, travel advice, and even create their own travel emergency record. Enter the web site by following these instructions:

1. Go to www.internationalsos.com
2. Enter UD’s group membership number: 11BSGC000070
3. You should now be on UD’s SOS portal page welcoming University of Delaware members and should be able to explore the site.
4. Download this information sheet to take with you on your travels. (All faculty directors and students participating in UD study abroad programs will receive an SOS card before departure and do not need to download this information.)

Specific SOS membership services for UD employees and students can be found here and includes, but is not limited to, emergency evacuation and repatriation of mortal remains, medical and personal assistance (for example legal referrals and translation services), and online services. Note that SOS is not a health insurance provider and that no health insurance coverage is included among SOS’s services. Therefore, University staff and students are highly encouraged to investigate their own health insurance coverage before traveling abroad.
