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.
