Student accident insurance coverage is available, upon request, to University of Alaska students by direct application to our insurance carrier for this type of coverage.
Coverage is only available for University of Alaska programs that are:
- University scheduled;
- University sponsored; and
- University supervised (by UA staff member)
For activities outside of this description see Event Insurance tab.
For claims, fill out the Student Accident Claim Form. It is recommended that you fax related claims documents directly to the carrier rather than mail, as claims MUST be submitted within 20 days of the accident.
For events using UA facilities:
Typically, outside entities utilizing UA facilities are required to carry insurance covering that use whereas affiliated entities using UA facilities are covered by the University's self-insurance or student accident insurance. If your group doesn't already carry liability insurance, this coverage can be purchased, at cost to the user, through the University.
