Prior approval for all international travel is required per the current SDSU/SDSURF process. Please allow at least 30 days for processing of travel and insurance documents.

CAUTION: Travelers’ affiliation, rather than funding source, determines the FTIP approval workflow. Requests for FTIP insurance coverage for travel that has already occurred will not be processed. For auditing purposes, a memo will be needed explaining the reason for the late submission of requests for FTIP insurance coverage for travel that was already in progress when the request was made. SDSURF’s Risk Management department may be reached at (619) 594-4076 or sdsurfriskmanagement@sdsu.edu

In addition, it is important to gain as much information as possible about the countries that will be visited. Travel warnings, public announcements, consular sheets, and tips on safety abroad are available at the U.S. Department of State website at http://travel.state.gov.
