Personal Accidents or Injury Insurance

Personal Accidents or Injury

Cornell College accepts no responsibility for personal accidents or injuries, or for the damage, theft, or loss of money, valuables or other personal belongings of students or guests. For property matters, students are encouraged to obtain appropriate insurance coverage through a parent’s homeowner’s policy or a separate renter’s policy.

Insurance

Students are required to have valid health insurance which covers them for the entire academic year. Students not providing documentation of proof of primary coverage will be required to purchase the insurance policy made available through the College. All students entering with a primary insurance already in place need to carry a copy of their insurance card and be familiar with the terms of their policy. The College does carry an accident insurance policy on all Cornell students. All student-athletes participating in Cornell College athletics are required to show proof of a primary insurance policy during the competition season. This policy may be part of their parent's/guardians primary insurance policy or may be in their own name. Student-athletes will not be allowed to participate in any practice or competition until proper insurance documentation is presented to the athletic training staff. Questions may be directed to Student Health Services.
