Safe travel off-campus
International travel takes lots of planning. There are important things to keep in mind, including health & travel insurance, first aid, safety & risk considerations, documentation and more. Please give yourself lots of time for flexibility as you prepare.

Emergency support
Even the best plans can go astray. UVic has partnered with International SOS to provide peace of mind while you're travelling. They can help with medical, personal, travel or legal problems that arise while abroad. It's important to register before you go.
Off-Campus Activity Risk Management Policy
The purpose of the policy is to promote safety and to reduce risks to members of the university community involved in off-campus university activities.
The policy recognizes that planning and preparation, including risk assessment, for an off-campus activity should be carried out by the organizer(s), who will have relevant knowledge of the planned activities and travel locations and who will use the Canadian Government risk level definitions and the associated off-campus travel resources.
