Certificate of Insurance Requested of the University

To request a Certificate of Insurance or proof of “self-insurance” coverage, send a written request along with the completed Certificate of Insurance Request Form to the EHS Risk Management and include a copy of the original documents (contract, letter) requesting the information.

See Certificate of Insurance Request Form

Problems arise when employees execute documents with other entities without having the authority to do so, or without having the contract reviewed by the Risk Management Department.

Certificates will not be issued for amounts above our standard limits, therefore it is most prudent to have contracts reviewed by Risk Management before they are executed.

Additional Insured – No Can Do!

Kennesaw State University is a state insured entity. Therefore, we are only able to provide coverage for General and Professional Liability for our own actions. We cannot extend our coverage to include others outside of our system.

Therefore, if contracts contain a requirement to name another entity as an additional insured, that language must be stricken from the contract.

Certificate of Insurance Required by the University

The University requires certificates of insurance from many parties. These commonly include vendors and contractors, lessees, groups wishing to rent or use university space or property for special events, and the like. The bulk of certificates of insurance are collected by the Procurement Services.

In the event of a claim or incident where university property is damaged, persons are injured, or the vendor or contractor failed to fulfill their obligation, notify EHS Risk Management and Procurement Services at once.

Report all claims to the Risk management Office within 24 hours of the incident via email or fax using the following property incident report and or general liability incident report.
