Gateway Plus (Students & Scholars) Highlights
Designed Expressly for the International Education Community
When your education activity takes you abroad, protecting your personal possessions while you are away from your home country is something to consider. What do you do if your personal possessions are stolen or damaged or destroyed while you are overseas? How easily would you be able to replace them?
Gateway Plus offers a solution to these potential problems. The Plan can help protect against financial hardship caused by loss of your personal property that you take with you or acquire while abroad.
Eligibility
Gateway Plus is available for students and scholars engaged in international academic and study abroad programs outside their Home Country and Country of Permanent Residence.
Home Country is defined as your passport country.
Country of Permanent Residence is defined as the country in which you live when not engaged in an international academic program.
Gateway Plus is an annual plan. The Plan offers the following coverage:

The property is insured for the replacement cost at the time of loss up to the coverage limit that you select on the Application form.

Additional coverage includes:

- securities, accounts, deeds, manuscripts, personal records, passports, tickets and stamps
- property while in storage or at your permanent address
- damage to property resulting from earth movement, water damage, neglect, war, intentional loss, government action, and mysterious disappearance
Personal Liability Coverage
When personal property coverage is issued, you are automatically provided additional personal liability protection. This coverage protects you if you are legally required to pay damages to another due to bodily injury or property damage.
Personal Liability
The Plan will pay up to the limit of liability for damages for which you are legally responsible and will also provide legal defense.
Medical Payments to Others
The Plan will pay up to $2,000 for the necessary medical expenses that are incurred within three years from the date of an accident causing bodily injury to another person.
Additional coverage includes:
- first aid to others for a covered bodily injury
- damage to property of others up to $1,000
What is not covered under Personal Liability Coverage:
This coverage is designed to protect your finances from unexpected costs. It does not protect you if you cause an intentional injury, or in business or professional situations, nor does it cover liability under a written contract or agreement. It does not cover liability resulting from:
- the ownership or use of motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and hovercraft
- damage to property you rent, occupy, use, or are in care of unless caused by fire, smoke or explosion
- bodily injury or property damage arising out of any premises owned or rented by you which is not shown as an insured location
Cancellation and Refund of Premium
Full refund of premium is made if written request to cancel coverage is received by the Gateway Administrator prior to the Effective Date of insurance. Partial refund of premium is made on a pro rata basis if your policy has been in effect less than 60 days. Premium is considered fully earned and is not refundable if your policy has been in effect 60 days or more prior to cancellation.
