The Division of Risk Management now has
available a Tenants and Users Liability Insurance Policy. A
policy purchased through this program will allow groups and
individuals to use University facilities and premises for
specific activities without the University incurring undue
liability risks. The policy will protect both the facility user
and the University of Illinois against claims by third parties
who may be injured as a result of participating in an event.
This program is intended solely for external users of campus
facilities, and is not intended to provide coverage for
activities directly related to the operation of the University.
This program is not intended to be an exclusive source of
liability insurance coverage for users of University
facilities. Insurance coverage for approved events may be
purchased from any insurance carrier meeting the standards
previously established by the Division of Risk Management.
These standards may be reviewed at
on the Certificates of
Insurance page. Groups or individuals desiring to use
University of Illinois facilities and premises must first
receive approval from the Office of Facility Management and
Scheduling (http://www.fms.uiuc.edu/)
or from the campus unit whose property or facility you wish to
use. Once conditional approval is granted for use of the
desired facilities, the group or individual must show evidence
of liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000. This
program is designed to facilitate the purchase of this coverage,
and to lessen the cost of acquiring an appropriate policy.
The cost and availability of liability
insurance under this program is based on several factors,
including the nature of the event, the duration of the event and
the anticipated number of participants. To determine the availability and cost of
insurance available through this program, go to
http://urmia.bene-marc.com. Enter the pass code 30341802.
After accessing the site, provide all of
the requested information. In many cases, approval for the
policy will be automatic and immediate. In these instances, the
cost will be displayed and payment via a credit card requested.
In those cases where additional information or underwriting
consideration is required, review of the information by an
insurance underwriter will be required. This process may take
up to ten business days to complete. You will be notified
directly by a representative of Bene-Marc when a decision has
been made. Payment is the sole responsibility of the
group or individual purchasing the insurance policy. A notice
will be sent directly to the Office of Facility Management and
Scheduling and the Risk Manager when the policy is approved,
paid for, and issued.
