Renters Insurance
Liability Insurance
As a benefit of living on campus, residents will have $100,000 in liability insurance provided for them through SFSU and GradGuard. This liability coverage is included in your housing fees and protects you financially in the event you cause unintentional damage to your room or apartment due to fire, smoke, explosion, or the discharge of a sprinkler head.
Please Note: The University will not be financially responsible for replacement of any personal items or for a resident's liability unless as direct and proximate result of the University’s negligence.
Personal Property Insurance
GradGuard
In an effort to provide residents with a quality personal property insurance option, SFSU has partnered with GradGuard. If you choose to obtain coverage for your personal property on an optional basis, GradGuard can provide protection from fire, water damage, theft and other causes of loss. You can purchase additional renters insurance with GradGuard directly on the Student Housing Portal.
Please Note:
- The University is not responsible for possessions lost or stolen from your room, apartment, or from any other area of the residential community.
- Personal property insurance can be obtained by directly through any third-party vendor.
- View the Community Living Standards Guide to learn about your responsibility regarding your belongings.
