Certificates of Insurance
A certificate of insurance is a single sheet of paper which explains what
insurance coverage(s) the insured has in place at the time the certificate
was issued. This document provides no coverage to the certificate holder
and rarely guarantees that the certificate holder will be notified if there
is a policy cancellation. An insurance company, insurance agent or broker
may issue certificates.
Certificates to Other Parties
Certificates of insurance are usually needed when
dealing with an outside vendor or facility. To obtain a certificate
of insurance, forward a copy of the contract or agreement to the Office of Risk Management & Insurance by faxing to 412-624-1817
or by e-mailing Michele Kramer.
Please allow a minimum of ten (10) working days for the certificate
to be obtained.
Certificates from Other Parties
When others are required to provide the University with a certificate
of insurance, in addition to a copy held by the responsible purchasing entity, a copy of the certificate along with the supporting contract or agreement should be sent to the Risk Management
Department.
