Certificates of Insurance
A certificate of insurance provides evidence of the levels of insurance that an organization carries. It provides evidence that coverage in force complies with the requirements of the requesting organization. Certificates may be requested by the University from off-campus organizations or other organizations may request a certificate from the University.
Certificates Requested by the University
Where required, third parties (e.g., contractors, subcontractors, service providers, tenants) will be requested to submit a certificate of insurance to demonstrate compliance with the insurance requirements specified in contracts or agreements. Sometimes, individuals or groups may wish to use University facilities or premises for their own activities that are not sanctioned or sponsored by the University, consisting of various social, cultural and intellectual activities such as lectures, sports activities, field rentals, conferences, films, shows, seminars, workshops and meetings etc. In this case, the other party will be required to provide the University with a certificate of insurance:
