Did you know that [school] does not cover the cost of your personal belongings being stolen or damaged? Due to this, you are expected to obtain renters insurance before you move-in.

[School] has partnered with GradGuard, which offers a unique renters insurance program that has protected over one million students nationwide. Here are a few scenarios in which renters insurance can help:

💻 You leave your laptop in the library unattended as you grab lunch, to later find that it was stolen.

🚲 You lock your bike up, head to class and when you return, your bike is gone.

🔥 You return to the residence halls after the gym, to find that someone accidentally caused a fire on your floor and the smoke ruined all of your clothes, books and bedding.

☔ You accidentally hang your clothes on the sprinkler head. Water damage destroys your stuff and the belongings of other residents on your floor.

On the next page, you can learn more and obtain insurance from GradGuard or indicate if you prefer coverage from another provider. GradGuard will share your selection with [school] for our records.
