Activities as diverse as business travel, displaying of fine art, working with outside vendors and service providers, and hosting class reunions all present risks to the University. Our insurance policies, guidelines, and processes serve to minimize these risks and to promote the safety of our faculty, staff, students, and members of the University community. Here you’ll find information to help you plan activities and initiatives in a safe, low-risk manner.
Active Insurance Programs

Workers' Compensation
If you are employed by the University and unable to perform your job due to a non-work-related injury, illness, or disability, the University provides you with disability benefits. Union employees should review their collective bargaining agreement for details. Casual and/or hourly employees may not be eligible for the same workers’ compensation benefits. Graduate Students: please refer to the Health and Wellness page for information.Fleet Safety Program
Princeton University’s fleet includes owned and leased cars, vans, trucks, golf carts, and construction vehicles that are used to transport people and things on and around campus. These vehicles are operated by employees and students under stringent safety guidelines. University vehicles may only be operated by approved drivers and only for University business. Please refer to the Fleet Safety Policy for the complete policy.Insurance Claim Management
The Risk Management Department works with Departments to help in the event of a loss or claim. Review the steps for reporting a claim.
Certificates of Insurance
Certificates of Insurance (aka COI or cert) provide evidence of what insurance is in place for a specific organization. They are usually required as part of a contract or engagement. If you are renting a space or equipment from someone, you may receive a request to provide proof that Princeton has insurance. We may need a supplier to provide proof of their insurance if they will be coming onto campus or performing services for the University.Additional Responsibilities
The Risk Management Team proudly partners with departments all over the University to ensure the many risks we face are properly insured and the University is adequately protected. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time to discuss how we can partner with your Department.
