Emergency Medical Insurance and Travel Assistance STUDY/TRAVEL ABROAD 1) EIIA/Chartis Travel Assistance information, card and sticker. Davidson College provides students, staff, and faculty on a Davidson College sponsored activity abroad as well as approved non-Davidson College study abroad programs with international emergency travel assistance through EIIA/Chartis Travel Assistance insurance. This insurance is provided by the college at no cost to its participants. This insurance is to be used as a SUPPLEMENT to a participant’s primary health insurance coverage.

This insurance is ONLY in effect during the study abroad program or sponsored activity. Abroad participants are given an EIIA/Chartis Travel Assistance card and asked to carry it with them as they travel. They are also given a sticker to affix to the back of their passport. The Dean Rusk International Studies Program Office distributes these cards and stickers to all abroad participants. 2) The Hartford Travel Assistance Information.
