International Volunteer, Co-op, or Other Travel

Liang Zhang

If your travel is related to a Clemson University student organization or club, a class or academic credit, for-credit internship or co-op, graduate research, or funding from any party at Clemson University, then you are required to complete one of the registration processes below. If your travel is for-credit, you will pay Clemson’s study abroad fee in addition to any other program charges.

If you are considering travel to a country with a State Department Travel Warning or a CDC Health Notice, and your travel is affiliated with the university through credit, funding, or group affiliation (ex: student organization), your group will need approval from the Clemson University Travel Advisory Committee. Please contact abroad@clemson.edu for more details about this process, and refer to our Travel Warnings page.

Registrations:

Directions:

  • Select the “Apply Now” button on the right of the page.
  • As a Clemson student, you are a “registered Clemson user”. Your login information is the same as for Blackboard.
  • Choose the term of your travel (Fall, Fall Break, Winter, Summer, etc.) Include your exact travel dates and location where requested. If your location is not listed, search for the nearest city.
  • As you complete each section of the registration, it will be “checked off”. Once a section is checked, our office can see that you completed it.
  • Upload proof of signing up with the State Department’s STEP program. Follow the directions in your portal, then upload a screenshot of the trip registration page or of STEP’s confirmation email to you.
  • Upload proof of insurance to the section called “Study Abroad Insurance”. Students are required to have either Clemson University Student Insurance OR CISI insurance coverage. For students who do not have the CU student insurance plan as their primary coverage, they should follow the directions to purchase CISI insurance for their time abroad. Directions to purchase CISI coverage are listed in your registration portal under the “Study Abroad Insurance” section, and also here.
