Who do I contact for special events insurance purchase?

If your event is a University department sponsored activity, select the University department information tab on who to contact at a specific University facility site. If your student organization is sponsoring a special event then contact the LEAD offices for further information on how to apply for special events insurance purchase.

Why is special events insurance required?

The CSU requires special events insurance for certain activities such as receptions, graduations, recitals, and other events where the public is invited to the campus. In the event of a loss or injury, the special events insurance policy provides coverage for that activity/event.
