Renter's Insurance (GradGuard & NSSI)
Did you know that The University of Arizona doesn’t cover your personal property if it gets damaged or stolen? That’s where renter’s insurance can help. Renter’s insurance is a way to protect you and your property—like your laptop, clothes, or bike, in case of theft, fire, water damage, and more. At U of A, renter’s insurance is highly recommended to safeguard you and your belongings from loss and avoid unexpected expenses while living on campus. Students can explore coverage through a family’s insurance policy or directly through a provider. Additionally, U of A students have the opportunity to choose from two university-affiliated vendors (offering special rates for U of A students) for renter’s insurance.
Here’s a cheat sheet to help you understand common insurance terms as you explore your options:
DEDUCTIBLE: A key part of any insurance policy is the deductible, or the amount you agree to pay out of pocket before your coverage applies. For example, if your policy has a $250 deductible and you file a claim for $1,000 in stolen or damaged items (and your insurance company approves the claim), you will pay the first $250, and the insurance company will cover the remaining $750.
PERSONAL PROPERTY: Another key part of an insurance policy is the value of your personal property you want covered. Think about what it would cost if you had to replace your belongings.
LIABILITY COVERAGE: Liability coverage protects you financially for unintentional damage to your residence or bodily injury when you are found legally liable, within your residence premises. For example, if your friend accidentally trips over your skateboard that you left in the middle of your room and breaks an arm, or if you set off the sprinkler system in your dorm, causing the floor beneath you to flood, liability coverage may be available to cover the expenses you are responsible to pay.
COVERAGE: Coverage refers to what your insurance policy will pay for or protect in specific situations. Understanding what’s included (covered) and what's not (not covered) will help you know when and how your policy will support you.
Take a moment to review the coverage options, deductibles, and key features offered by the two University-affiliated renter’s insurance providers—or explore your family’s existing insurance policy or other policies available to students. Doing so can help you and your family make an informed decision.
Disclaimer: The University is providing this information to help inform you about renter’s insurance. It is your responsibility to read through all the information provided by the insurer and make an informed decision. The University takes no responsibility for your selection. The U of A does not receive any commission or financial benefit if you choose from one of the University-affiliated insurance providers.

Non-Approved Vendors

- Housing & Residential Life will not accept – nor sign for – deliveries from a non-approved vendor (we will accept packages from mail services like USPS and UPS during regular scheduled mail delivery)
- All non-approved vendors will be subject to the move-in process and guidelines
- All non-approved vendors are subject to abide by parking enforcement signage at all times
