Insurance

Renter's Insurance

The University of California recommends that students consider purchasing renters insurance if living away from home. Renters insurance is not mandatory, and may be purchased from any source. As a service, the university has arranged for students to shop for coverage directly.

GradGuard Renters Insurance

In order to further assist students who wish to acquire renters insurance, the University of California has partnered with GradGuard to provide a renters insurance option to UC students. Students who live in the residence halls may choose to purchase renters insurance through GradGuard when filling out their residence hall housing application. Students must choose the GradGuard option in the application in order to receive coverage—coverage is not automatic. Students with GradGuard insurance policies will be billed directly by Grad-Guard.
