What must student organizations obtain before hosting virtually any on-campus event?
A. A signed letter from the Dean of Students acknowledging the institutional relevance and significance of the proposed event
B. Written approval from an on-campus advisor
C. A Certificate of Insurance
D. Clearance from the University of California Police Department
E. Nothing

Correct Answer: C
Registered student organizations are independent entities and therefore, are not covered by the University of California's own insurance programs. This can be a problem for both students and the University because: the students may have to rely on personal or family financial resources to defend a claim or lawsuit arising out of their activities; and the University has no financial recourse when its property is damaged by student activities or when it receives a claim or lawsuit arising from student activities. To remedy this problem, the University has purchased a commercial insurance policy to cover virtually all on-campus events hosted by registered student organizations. To obtain more information start by visiting the Marsh CampusConnexions website (http://uc.marshcampusconnexions.com) or call the Marsh Student Coverage Line toll-free at 866.838.9536 (open Monday through Friday, 6am-3pm).
