What kind of insurance coverage does UC Merced have?
The University is “self-insured” for many common risks associated with our facilities and work environment. This means that UC sets aside funds in an account to pay for losses. Each campus contributes to this self insurance fund so that funds are available if and when losses occur. The Risk Services Office oversees all claims made to the self-insurance programs and works with campus department managers to ensure that claims are filed accurately and payments due made quickly.
