Personal Property Insurance

As stated on the housing contract, John Cabot University is not liable for any and all claims for damage, theft, or loss of student's personal property brought onto JCU premises. This includes accidental loss including without restriction water damage, fire, smoke, or theft.

Under no circumstances will John Cabot University be responsible for any loss of art, rare or irreplaceable books, manuscripts, antiques, jewelry, cash, securities, valuable papers such as deeds, furs, items that have only personal value, or other unique items.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that students have an insurance policy for their personal property from the moment they leave home and throughout their stay abroad, including luggage shipping and delivery.

Students who maintain legal residence with their parents may be covered by their family's homeowners' policy. In many cases, "legal residence" refers to when parents are of substantial financial support to a college age student (i.e. they claim them as a dependent for tax purposes still). In this case, you may indeed be covered by your parent's homeowner's insurance, but it would be wise to check with your family's agent about this first. Often, there is a substantial deductible required for loss and pricing may rise for the policy as a result of a claim.

If you need insurance, and you are not able to arrange coverage under your homeowners' or tenant's policy, John Cabot University highly recommends (*) contacting:
