Non-University Affiliate Events – Liability Insurance

In accordance with the University of Missouri guidelines for Venue/Special Event Insurance Coverage, all non-university affliate groups must:

  • Follow the campus protocol for reserving/space use – Obtain written permission from the MizzouRec Event Coordinator for the space they wish to use (i.e., confirmation of reservation)
  • Provide the evidence of insurance (Certificate of Insurance) for the event, minimum General Liability of $1,000,000, other coverages may be required such as liquor liability (see notes below) to the venue manager along with the event name, date and facility to be used.

Prior to the event you must deliver a Certificate of Insurance to the Event Coordinator of MizzouRec. The Certificate should be accompanied by a note listing the name of the event, the date [range] of the event, and the location of the reservation.
If you already have insurance coverage, please have your insurance company send the Event Coordinator a Certificate of Insurance with the following specifications:

  • You or your company (the facility renter) must be listed as the Insured
  • The Curators of the University of Missouri must be listed as an Additional Insured
  • The Insurer/Producer name and contact information must be on the Certificate
  • The policy start and end date must encompass the entire length of your reservation
  • The policy must include General Liability coverage of at least $1,000,000; higher limits may be required depending upon the activity.
  • The Certificate of Insurance must provide 30 days’ advance written notice for any modification, change, or cancellation of any component of the insurance coverage.
  • If a participant from an event wants to file a claim they should contact the Renter/event organizer to file a claim with their carrier. The Campus should complete the University incident form and file as normal. The Campus incident form should be submitted with a copy of the insurance certificate through normal channels.

If you DO NOT have insurance coverage of your own, you may obtain coverage by contacting your agent/broker or via HUB International to obtain an application and coverage quote.
Organizations/groups needing coverage for an off-campus event may also contact HUB International for an insurance quote for the event.
