Student Accident and Trip Travel Insurance

Student Accident and Trip Travel Insurance is provided to LSU students at no cost by your Student Government

General Policy Information

Student Accident and Trip Travel Insurance provides coverage for students attending or participating in both on-campus and off-campus (See PM-4) functions or activities supervised by the University (excluding sports club games, competitions, and practices on-campus).

The Accident and Student Trip Travel Policy is a minimal medical policy solely for accidents, providing $5,000 Medical & Hospital expense indemnity. Exclusions to this coverage do apply, including injuries sustained while skiing, tubing, tobogganing, or sledding. In the event of illness (with limited exceptions, see policy), the student participant must file through his/her personal health insurance.

On October 3, 2011, Student Government began paying all insurance cost for departments, student groups/organizations, and individual students participating in service learning.  Departments, student groups/organizations, and individual students can now simply request insurance coverage via an on-line form at the links below.

Student organizations or departments using the links below may purchase Accident and Trip Travel Insurance for non-LSU students, but a charge of $.10 per person per day will be billed to the organization by LSU Risk Management at the end of each semester.  Please contact LSU Risk Management for additional details.
