Certificates of Insurance

A certificate of insurance provides proof that required insurance has been obtained. If the other party does not request a certificate (either verbally or in writing), do not offer to send them a Certificate. If you are verbally asked to provide a Certificate, please ask them to send you a written request (fax or email is acceptable). Certificates should only be furnished when requested by another party IN WRITING.

NOTE: Please be aware that even a “simple” agreement may have indemnity language that is hard to identify but will create an obligation on the part of the University. Any contract containing an indemnity (“hold harmless”) clause must be signed by the Vice President for Finance and Administration. Failure to obtain the required signatures may result in personal liability for the unauthorized signer. Please consult with us prior to signing contracts.

For use of the forms below, please refer to Contracts.

Additional information may be required, based on the specifics of your request.

• To request a certificate of insurance from an organization outside the University, please refer to the Risk Management Officer. A Request for Certificate of Insurance will be developed for you. Sample.
