INSURANCE
In addition to medical coverage, CCID Troika program fees now include travel insurance (i.e. for delayed trip, for lost luggage or travel documents) - through iNext.

However, there is no trip cancellation coverage. Please see below some companies that could provide that assistance. CCID is not endorsing any of the services provided by these companies, and it is not a comprehensive list either. This is strictly an effort to provide some resources to colleges or students considering such insurance for their travel:
