UCSC Certificates of Insurance

Summary: This page provides information about certificates of insurance.

When the University contracts with another party, the other party often requests a "Certificate of Insurance". Risk Services issues Certificates of Self-Insurance in response to these requests after ensuring that the request is in response to an acceptable contract or agreement.

Before we can issue a Certificate of Self-Insurance, Risk Services must review a copy of the complete contract, including any attachments, for language related to indemnity and insurance.
Risk Services can only issue the Certificate of Self-Insurance if:

• the contract does not contain any unacceptable language regarding indemnity or insurance (If the contract does contain unacceptable language or does not specifically request a COI, then Risk Services will refer you Purchasing at 831-459-2311, for assistance in negotiating acceptable contract language).
• The contract specifically calls for a Certificate of Insurance(COI) (If the other party is requesting to be named as an additional insured, then the contract must specifically call for that as well).

Turn-around time for a Certificate of Self-Insurance is 10 business days after receipt of an acceptable contract. Please fill out the Request for Certificate of Insurance form (MSWord) and return it to Risk Services with a copy of the contract and all attachments to the contract. You can return the information by inter-campus mail (mail-stop: Risk Services), by fax (831-459-3268) or electronically, to Jennifer Yeager. If you have any questions, please call Jennifer Yeager at 831-459-5154.
