Every student is responsible for their own property and is required to have a renter’s insurance policy for all valuables and belongings they bring to campus. Students are liable to the University and others for loss or damage caused by their actions or those of their guests.
The University requires residential students to obtain their own insurance for losses due to vandalism, theft, fire, smoke, water damage, leakage, flooding, and the like. The University’s insurance policies provide no coverage for a resident’s belongings or vehicles. Damages due to sprinkler activation are the resident’s financial responsibility. Residents will also be responsible for damages to neighboring units and their belongings.
