Certificates of Insurance Request Forms & Verification of Coverage Letters

Practicum sites, contracts, agreements, and other partnerships may require a Certificate of Insurance. If a contract is involved, it must first be reviewed by the Office of Legal Affairs, who will determine if a certificate of insurance is needed. For a timely response from the University’s insurance agent and underwriter, we ask that you send contracts/agreements to the Office of Legal Affairs two weeks in advance of your request to contracts@contact.pacificu.edu.

For all other Certificate of Insurance (COI) requests, please complete the request form available online, and then forward it to the Executive Assistant to the VP for Finance & Administration, via email, for processing.

The 2019-2020 Verification of Coverage Letter is available to Pacific University staff and faculty to download now. To determine if you need a COI or a Verification of Coverage letter, or for all other questions on university insurance, please reach out to the Executive Assistant to the VP for Finance & Administration.
