Faculty/Staff Health & Safety Resources
On Call International
TCU partners with On Call International to provide a global assistance service with accident, illness and travel insurance. All TCU students, faculty and staff traveling abroad on TCU programs or business are covered under the university’s plan at no cost to the individual. To verify coverage, employees must register their travel in the Faculty & Staff Travel Registry.
On Call responds to critical medical or safety emergencies and can also help resolve non-critical day to day travel problems any time you are traveling outside your home country on TCU programs or business. You should maintain your regular, U.S. insurance while abroad. For more information, review the On Call Resource Hub.

Smart Traveler Enrollment Program
TCU recommends that U.S. citizens register with the U.S. State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), so they can stay informed, connected and safe while abroad. Register to get up-to-date safety and security information and help the U.S. government reach you in the event of an emergency abroad.
