- Description of coverage
- Description and locations of operation
- Name and address of certificate holder
- Policy limits
- Notice of cancellation provision

Certificates to Other Parties
University groups using non-University facilities are often required to furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of insurance coverage by the University. To request a certificate of insurance, complete the Certificate of Insurance Request Form (PDF) and send it to the Office of Risk Management & Safety. Be sure your information includes the name and address of the party requesting it, the purpose of 51°µÍø's use, and the dates for which coverage is required.
Certificates from Other Parties
When others are contractually required to provide the University with a certificate of insurance, a copy of the certificate should be sent to the relevant department and to the Office of Risk Management.
