Mission Statement

The primary mission of the Office of Risk Management and Insurance is to reduce the adverse effect of accidental loss to individuals and to protect the assets of the University. Services to University departments include: coordination and management of property and liability insurance; review of contractual risk transfers and hold harmless agreements; consultation regarding exposures to risk; administration of claims; and financial management of insurance programs.


Manual of Business Procedures - Section 35: Office of Risk Management & Insurance - The “General Insurance Information” link below provides access to the Risk Management and Insurance section of the MSU Manual of Business Procedures. This section contains information about insurance programs, claim and accident reporting forms, services provided, request forms, automobile usage guidelines and the indemnification policy of the University. Note that to be covered under some insurance programs (e.g. student health, camps, special events…) or to obtain verifications or approvals, departments must initiate the process and provide specific information. If you need any assistance, please contact our office.
