Yale NUS College

For the purpose of the travel insurance policy, “Students” have been defined as “Persons who have been registered, enrolled, admitted or accepted into any programs, activities, courses or classes offered, conducted or administered by the University and who travel overseas on or for activities or purposes approved, endorsed, organised, sponsored or authorised by NUS.”

All students travelling overseas for activities or purposes approved, endorsed, organized, sponsored or authorised by NUS will be covered by the NUS Student Travel Insurance Policy. Such trips shall be referred to as “Official NUS Student Trips” in short for purpose of this policy. Trips must commence and end in Singapore** and shall not exceed 730 days in all (inclusive of 60 cumulative days of Personal Deviation immediately before and/or after an Official NUS Student Trip) ** For Students who choose to go back to Home Country after an Official Trip with no intention of returning to Singapore, this travel insurance will terminate upon utilization of the 60 days personal deviation or upon their arrival at their home town whichever occurs first.

Personal Deviation (PD in short) refers to trips taken for personal vacation. This can take place during the term of the Official Trip and outside of the Official Trip (i.e. immediately before & after)

There is no capping on the no. of days for personal travel during the term of the Official Trip. But for PD taken outside of an Official Trip, this is subject to a maximum total of * **60 days

This Travel Insurance will terminate upon utilization of the **60 days and there will be NO cover for the balance of the trip unless the extension for personal deviation is exercised. Such extension should preferably be activated prior to your trip departure from Singapore, with payment of the appropriate additional premiums. (Please submit the completed “Request for Extension of Personal Deviation beyond **60 days” form via email). Extension of the personal deviation will only be activated upon receipt of your premium cheque for the appropriate additional premium.

The additional premium applicable is SGD20.00 per block of 10 days or part thereof to be payable upfront to “Marsh Singapore Pte Ltd”. There will be no refund of premium once the PD Extension has been activated.

Students must ensure that trips are approved, endorsed, organised, sponsored or authorised in writing by the relevant approving authority in the Faculty / Department / Centre / Program for such official NUS student trips. Students/ Departments are to keep proper record of the approval / endorsement for the Official NUS Student Trips and also Date of Departure from Singapore and Arrival to Singapore as this will account for the Personal Deviation. Students are required to submit these proofs in the event of claim submission to the insurers.

No, you would not be covered by NUS Student travel insurance. Please acquire your own personal travel insurance from AIG. For more information, please refer to this link.

No, this policy covers only NUS(Yale-NUS) endorsed and authorized trips; pure leisure / home trips are not covered. If you are going for home leave that immediately connects to an Official Student Trip, this can be covered subject to adequacy of the personal deviation as allowed under the policy, i.e. 60 days or as extended at additional premium. The duration whilst you are in your home country will be deemed as personal deviation.

The intention of this policy is to provide cover for Students departing from and returning to Singapore. If Students decide to return to Home Country for good instead of returning to Singapore, this insurance will terminate upon the expiry of the personal deviation period as allowed under policy or upon the Insured Person arriving at his home town in the Home Country whichever is earlier.
