Risk Management for Reserving Parties

Boise State University has insurance coverage through the State of Idaho’s self-insured program. The program provides limited coverage for recognized Boise State University groups including university-recognized departments, student organizations, and faculty and staff members who are acting within the course and scope of their duties. All sanctioned university events on campus are covered by the State of Idaho’s self-insured policy provided that they are sponsored by an aforementioned university group, funded through a departmental or student organization account, and supervised by a faculty, staff member, or student organization advisor during the event.
