Renters Insurance
The university does not assume responsibility for loss or damage to personal property. Thefts often occur when residents leave their room doors unlocked and property unattended. Keeping your room door locked at all times is your best defense against theft. Additionally, we recommend that you take any expensive items home during long breaks when the buildings are closed.
After determining what it would cost to replace your more expensive belongings, check to see if your family homeowner’s insurance would cover the loss. If not, we suggest that you purchase additional personal property insurance.
