Property Insurance

  • Northwestern property insurance includes coverage for real property (buildings and equipment) and business personal property (contents and supplies).
  • Property insurance is not designed to cover the personal property of employees or students.
  • Departments may seek reimbursement for losses from theft or other unavoidable causes through Risk Management and Insurance. A departmental deductible will apply.

Reporting Incidents

  • Should your department incur any building or equipment damage, please notify Facilities to prevent further damage in the event of a loss.
  • If the loss occurs on campus, please contact the Northwestern University Police.
  • The department will need to notify Risk Management and Insurance as soon as possible by reporting an incident.
