Health and Safety Services is responsible for managing specific components of the University's insurance program, offered through the University, College & Institute Protection Program (UCIPP). Our office submits and manages claims related to liability, including:

  • Liability Insurance – covering incidents involving bodily injury.
  • Property Damage – addressing physical damage to university property.
  • Property Loss – providing coverage for lost or stolen university assets.
  • Optional Property Coverage – available for additional protection beyond standard coverage.

Health and Safety Services also provides information and recommendations to employees regarding rental and personal vehicle use.
