Students are encouraged to protect themselves from loss by purchasing appropriate insurance, as students are not covered under the University’s property and fire insurance policy. Students should review any homeowner's insurance policy the student or their family might have to determine whether contents of the student's University housing are or could be covered. When considering purchasing additional insurance, keep in mind the replacement cost of items such as computers, instruments, clothes, electronics, books and sporting equipment. For more information on damage to personal property, refer to UD's Office of Risk Management.
