A certificate of insurance – also known as evidence of insurance – is requested when liability (or loss) may be a concern for SMU. For example, if you are hosting or sponsoring an event on campus, you may be asked to obtain a certificate of insurance (COI) from your vendor(s) as evidence that certain liabilities will be covered during the course of the activity or event. No matter what kind of vendor you’re working with, having the right COI, or evidence of insurance, will protect you and the SMU community. More information can be found Here.
