Residents are strongly encouraged to purchase renter’s insurance, though it is not required. A renter’s insurance policy covers your personal possessions such as your computer & other electronics, clothing, and school supplies from loss as well as other charges caused by negligence (for example, if you cause damage to the facility that also damages your neighbor’s belongings). Where applicable, a resident’s family’s homeowner/renter policy may provide full or partial coverage. Additionally, some car insurance policies have renter’s insurance options. Contact your insurance company for additional information.

The University does not cover personal possessions that are lost, damaged, and/or destroyed by accident, theft, or other means while residing in or making use of University premises.
