Ithaca College does not cover or insure students’ personal belongings or property if it is lost, stolen, or damaged. Therefore, the College strongly encourages students to purchase personal property insurance to protect your personal property while living on or off-campus. The College supports Haylor, Freyer & Coon, Inc. (Syracuse, NY, insurance broker) to offer this coverage to you, as an Ithaca College student. It also provides worldwide coverage if you travel.
If a loss does occur to your personal belongings from water, fire, accidental damage or theft, this coverage will protect, for example, your smartphones, laptops, tablets, clothes, books, bikes, musical instruments, TV’s, furniture, cameras, and other items. Additional information about the coverage is located on the insurance broker’s site and can be purchased here or by completing the paper application. Please note that enrollment after August 15th does incur a 5-day waiting period for the coverage to become effective. Also, policy limits, exclusions, and deductibles do apply. You will need to determine the appropriate insurance amount to protect your personal belongings before enrolling.
If you have any questions, please contact Haylor, Freyer & Coon, Inc.’s Collegiate Department at (866) 535-0456 or student@haylor.com.
Thank you for considering this coverage.
