Property Insurance

The University cannot assume responsibility for personal property in the residences and strongly advises parents to extend the coverage of their household insurance, or to apply for a policy with National Student Services, Inc., to protect the students' property from any form of loss or damage. Every resident is encouraged to obtain/carry adequate personal property insurance and health insurance, as the University's insurance program is limited to coverage of University-owned property. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the University shall not be liable directly and/or indirectly for personal injury, loss, or damage to personal property of a resident, his or her family, guarantor, legal guardian, relatives, friends, visitors, or overnight guests caused by fire, theft, or any other cause whether such personal injury, loss, or damage occurs in a residence facility, or elsewhere, on or off the University campus.

Upon arrival on campus, students are urged to participate in Operation Identification, a personal-property security program. Ask the residence staff or the Boston University Police Department for details.
