Certificate of Insurance

UC’s Certificates of Self-Insurance Coverage can be shared as evidence of UC’s insurance coverage.

If required, Risk Services can issue a unique certificate under the following conditions.

The other party has rejected the UC Certificate of Self-Insurance Coverage.
An acceptable agreement has been negotiated by Real Estate and Contract Services or another campus unit with delegated authority for signing agreements.

How to Request a Unique Certificate

Make sure that the UC Certificate of Self-Insurance Coverage has been offered and that there is an acceptable agreement.
Send the request via email to propertycasualty@ucsc.edu.
Attach a copy of the entire agreement to the email.
Include the CruzBuy Requisition Number, if available.
Include the name of the UCSC employee who negotiated the agreement on behalf of your unit. This is usually someone in Real Estate and Contract Services.

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the agreement. If the agreement includes indemnification or insurance terms that the university cannot comply with, then the agreement will need to be modified prior to the issuance of the certificate of insurance. After an acceptable agreement is negotiated, a unique certificate can usually be issued within three business days.
Certificates are not issued on campus holidays, weekends or during winter curtailment.
