Safety Protect Your Possessions: Wear a concealed money belt or neck pouch. Keep your money in two places. If you are robbed or lose some money, you will have a backup. Do not put your purse on the floor or on the back of a chair in public places. Do not carry a wallet in a back pocket Leave copies of all important documents (passport, travel itinerary, insurance policies, credit/debit cards, etc.) in more than one place.

ISIC Card Why do I need an International Student Identity Card (ISIC)? Benefits of the ISIC: Discounts in thousands of places worldwide Access to flexible Student Exclusive airfare on many of the world's leading airlines. Discounted train tickets and rail passes. International recognition of your full-time student status. 24-hour Help Line emergency service. Discounts and specials at hotels and hostels around the world.

International Office Abroad What is the international office, and why is this office so important to me? The international office is your most important resource for information while abroad. They can answer questions specific to your location that we may not be able to answer here.

1) Jordan is a sophomore Biology major studying in Melbourne, Australia. Since he is an avid biologist, he decided to explore the Australian outback in the most adventurous way. He is travelling on his own with only his book-bag filled with essentials such as food, water, and his “Identifying Desert Plant Species” book that he got for his birthday. It sounds like he is well prepared for his trip, right?

Carry with you at all times: ISIC Card Health Insurance Card (HTH) Emergency Numbers Copy of your identification

2) Emily is energetic and loves to socialize and she couldn’t wait to go out on the town her first night in Denmark, even though she was severely jet-lagged and tired from the trip. She had already met some roommates in her dorm, and they invited her to go to the local bar. Her roommates advise her that she should take her passport because the bar will need to see some kind of identification for entry. Also, since she doesn’t have any Danish currency she decides to take her debit card and her back-up credit card just in case the debit card doesn’t work. Emily is all set to explore the city now!

DO NOT carry with you at all times: PASSPORT VALUABLES ALL OF YOUR MONEY!! ALL OF YOUR CREDIT CARDS Identification that you don’t need!

3) Kendra is so excited about her study abroad journey to Italy. She has been working hard to finish all of her classes and complete her finals successfully before she goes on the trip of her life. Part of her preparation for this trip was cleaning out her UNCG one last time before her trip. Since she doesn’t have any classes at UNCG, she won’t need to be checking her .

Contacting IPC While Abroad I ed someone at UNCG IPC office a day ago and they haven’t replied. What’s up? We are busy too, It may take us a few days to respond. If it is urgent, note that in the subject line.

Where do I go next?
