STUDENT INTERN/PRACTICUM PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE PROGRAM
Description: The Student Intern/Practicum Professional Liability Insurance Program insures the professional liability of enrolled CWU students who furnish professional services required as part of an enrolled curriculum, practicum, student teaching experience or internship. The student must be enrolled in a CWU course to be eligible for this coverage. Examples include teacher practicum, journalism, communication, graphic arts, criminal justice, law & justice, safety and health, wine education, construction management, network administration, family studies, public relations, food service management and recreation. Any academic department within these and similar fields should make the Student Intern/Practicum Professional Liability Insurance available to their enrolled students for purchase. The limit of liability under the policy is $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $3,000,000 per school annual aggregate. Coverage is limited to the insurance policy terms, conditions and exclusions.
Cost & Effective Date: The cost is $6.22 for coverage through the duration of the annual master policy period, beginning and ending on September 1st of each year. It is the student's responsibility to make sure their premium is paid and their coverage is current.
Certificate: The student will receive a current certificate of insurance from the Business Services Office once the enrollment form and proof of payment are received. A certificate of insurance may be required by the organization at which you will be completing your practicum or internship.
Claims: Potential and actual claims must be reported immediately to Business Services by the student and the University department overseeing the internship placement. Business Services will notify the Office of Financial Management and the carrier of the potential or actual claim.
