Liability Insurance Requirement
Event insurance provides valuable protection for your event and NSU. It helps safeguard you from unforeseen issues like property damage or injuries that might occur during your event. All outside groups utilizing NSU facilities must maintain a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy. You will need to add Nova Southeastern University, Inc. as an additional insured.
Vendors: Any vendors associated with your event are also required to provide their own liability insurance.
Don't Have Your Own Insurance? No Problem!
NSU has partnered with a third-party vendor to offer event insurance for groups who don't have their own policy. Here's how it works:
- You'll receive a location ID and/or invitation code from the NSU Facility/Venue Office.
- Visit the TULIP website at https://tulip.ajg.com/ and click on "Get A Quote."
- The website will guide you through the process of purchasing the necessary coverage and paying by credit card.
- Upon completion, you'll receive a binder/certificate via email confirming your coverage.
- The NSU Facility/Venue Office will also receive a copy of your certificate as part of the application process.
