General Information for Summer School Travelers

Each student who lives outside a 150 mile radius of Boulder, Colorado, will be provided with a roundtrip airline ticket, lodging (double occupancy), per diem and ground transportation in Colorado. Ground transportation in home countries/states will not be reimbursed except in unusual circumstances that have been pre-approved. Transportation to and from the hotel to the meeting site will also be provided.

Students selected for the Heliophysics Summer School will receive a Travel Request questionnaire with their offer letter.  Travel arrangements will be made for participants once the form is received in the CPAESS office. Please be aware that no airline tickets will be purchased until the participant receives the appropriate travel visa (see Visas).

UCAR provides access to a medical healthcare plan for illness or accidents to our international students for the duration of their stay in the U.S. The plan offers one of the strongest medical networks available, along with leading digital tools and 24/7/365 world-class medical assistance support and services. Information will be provided to our international Summer School students prior to their visit. Our domestic Summer School students will need to ensure they have their own travel medical insurance.
