Certificate of Insurance (COI)
A certificate of insurance is often requested in the case of a project, job or event in which liability concerns and the possibility of great financial losses are significant. Certificates are usually requested during an agreement, contract, or transaction to make certain the other party has the appropriate insurance coverage. A certificate of insurance is a document used to provide information on specific insurance coverage.
Compliance and Insurance needs a copy of COI’s received by any university employee. Contact us if you need to secure a COI.
