University Insurance Requirements
The University requires contractors, vendors, and suppliers who provide goods and services to the University to have insurance and to provide the University with Certificates of Insurance as evidence of coverage. The types and limits of insurance the University requires are based on the contractor’s or vendor’s scope of work and the risks associated with the goods or services they are providing to the University. Based on the specific scope of work or activity, additional insurance may be required; a common additional coverage requirement is Professional Liability Insurance. The University also requires non-UC individuals and organizations who use campus facilities to meet its insurance requirements and provide it with evidence of coverage.
