With registration opening this week, students are encouraged to register their summer and fall overseas internships with the Global Internship Program in OIE. This pertains to most non-credit, full-time internships, research, or service-learning/volunteer projects taking place outside of the US.

- Assistance with completing required paperwork for your internship
- Assistance in navigating the visa/work permit process for your internship country, if required
- Access to GT resources if you experience an emergency while abroad
- Cancel your on-campus housing contract with no penalty for the term(s) you are abroad
- Enrollment in a low-cost insurance plan that offers:
– Lost luggage and trip delay benefits
– Travel assistance, legal and medical referrals
– Security evacuation (e.g. for political or natural disasters), which may include transportation to one’s home country, country of residence, or the country of one’s university to resume regular studies
– Emergency medical reunion, which may help transport a family member to be with you if hospitalized
Return ticket benefit, which may help you travel in the event of a family member’s death
Medical expenses, accidental death & dismemberment, medical evacuation, and repatriation of remains
