Risk Management-Certificates of Insurance
From time to time various institutions, organizations, or
companies request Proof of Liability Coverage from the university.
The JMU Risk Management office prepares and signs all Certificates
of Coverage. The Certificate of Coverage states coverage limits
under the State Risk Management
Examples of why an entity outside of the university might
require or request a Certificate of Coverage:
- Hospitals and other Institutions providing
placement for student practicum, internships and other professional
placements as required degree coursework, requesting proof of
professional and/or medical liability coverage for our
students.
- Car or other equipment rental agencies
requesting proof of our liability coverage, should the car or
equipment become damaged.
- Off-campus locations where the university is
participating in or holding an event (i.e. Sporting Events such as
NCAA tournaments, off-campus athletic or theatrical events,
competitions and practices, informational booths and programs held
at off-campus locations).
To request a Certificate of Insurance, please complete the
Certificate of Coverage on-line form.
