The University produces several hundred Certificates of Insurance on an annual basis. To request one, please complete the Certificate Request Form.

When completing this form, only enter the contact information of the outside organization requesting this certificate. Do not enter any University contact information on this form.

The Environmental Health & Safety/Risk Management (EHS/RM) department is the central repository for all the Certificates of Insurance for the University. We accept them in paper and electronic formats. Certificates must be received by the EHS/RM office prior to any work being done.

All contractors issued a University purchase order are required to obtain a minimum amount of coverage while working at, for, and/or on the University. If the work is outside of a purchase order, the minimum insurance requirements are on a negotiated basis and must be referenced in the contract.
