At ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½, we believe that protecting our community is just as important as supporting it. The Risk Management office oversees a comprehensive insurance program that safeguards the university, its people, and its many activities—so that faculty, staff, students, and campus partners can focus on what matters most.
Insurance isn't just a policy requirement; it's how we protect people. Accidents happen, situations change, and unexpected events can have real consequences. Having the right coverage in place means that when something goes wrong, the focus can stay on resolving the situation rather than navigating financial or legal uncertainty. ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s insurance programs are designed with that goal in mind: to keep our community protected, informed, and prepared.
Our office manages university-wide insurance coverage, reviews vendor and contractor insurance requirements, and helps campus users understand what protections apply to their work and events. Whether you're planning a campus event, hiring a vendor, or managing a university program, we're here to make sure the right coverage is in place before anything gets started.
Our Insurance Programs:
Certificate of Insurance - is a document that confirms an individual or organization carries active insurance coverage that meets ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s standards. We require COIs from vendors, contractors, and facility users—and can provide them to third parties who need proof of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s coverage.
Event Insurance - External individuals and organizations renting ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ facilities for non-university events are required to carry general liability insurance and submit proof of coverage before the event. Those without existing insurance can purchase a policy quickly and affordably through ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s TULIP program.
