​​​​Student Personal Property Insurance

Click here for the Student Property Damage Form.

CMU’s Residence Hall Agreement reads:

The university is not liable for the loss of or damage to money, property or other valuables belonging to resident or any other person. Resident is responsible for acquiring any insurance which resident may desire for resident’s protection from liability and property damages.

Students’ personal belongings should be covered by their parents’ homeowner’s policy or their personal tenant’s policy.

The office of Risk Management is providing several web sites that offer tenant’s policies. Risk Management is providing this information for your convenience only, not as a recommendation.
