University Property Protection

The University secures property insurance to cover the loss of the physical buildings and contents.

University Departments must implement and maintain appropriate safeguards to prevent the loss, damage, and/or theft of University equipment. This requires attention to see that doors, windows, cabinets and desks are locked, vehicles are operated safely, equipment is physically secured and the Department of Public Safety is notified immediately when appropriate.

• Where a department has suffered a loss by a natural event or accident and has taken reasonable efforts to prevent the loss or damages, the Department of Risk Management may assist with repairs or reimbursement subject to depreciation and investigation of a claim.
• If a department has experienced equipment theft, an investigation will be needed to determine compensability.
• Risk Management does not reimburse departments for computers or any type of portable device.
• For any type of reimbursement, all departments are subject first to a $1,500 deductible. If a department has two or more claims in a fiscal year, the deductible will be raised to $2,500. 

Personal Property Protection

The University does not insure the personal property of its faculty, staff, students, volunteers or guests. Claims associated with personal property theft or damage will not be covered by the University's insurance, including claims related to laptops, computers and electronic devices. It is expected that these items are insured through the individual's homeowner's insurance policy, which is a primary source of compensation for all losses.

Bicycles on Campus

As a reminder to the University community, bicycles and scooters, including e-bikes, are not permitted in University buildings, including residence halls.

The movement of bikes in and out of buildings causes significant damage to doors, floors, walls and elevators. The lithium-ion batteries often found on e-bikes and scooters present a potential fire hazard.

Students bringing bicycles on campus are strongly encouraged to register their bikes with the Department of Public Safety (DPS). DPS provides free bike locks to those who register their bicycles. See the DPS website for more information.

There are about 100 bike racks throughout the 软妹社 campus, at which you can secure your bike or scooter.
