Insurance Certificates
The California State University has established certain minimum insurance requirements for persons and organizations wishing to use our facilities and/or contract with or provide service and products to the university.
While this website does not replace or supplant the actual bid and contract document requirements, we want to provide information so persons can share this information with their insurance broker in a timely fashion. These minimum requirements may be increased and do not serve to limit the occupant's liability.
