About Certificates of Insurance
When UNLV contracts with external vendors or contractors, RMS requires a Certificates of Insurance (COI) to verify they carry adequate and appropriate coverage. These COI documents show that the contractors have current insurance, which can include commercial general liability, auto, workers' compensation, and other required coverages to meet institution’s contractual obligations.
For Contractors and Vendors
Any contractor performing construction, services, or other work for UNLV must provide a current COI from their insurance carrier. Contractors can obtain these certificates through their insurance broker.
For UNLV Departments
UNLV has insurance coverage under NSHE's self-insurance program for liability risks. The state and NSHE also maintain Special Excess Liability coverage above the self-insured retention limit.
When departments need documentation of the university's insurance coverage, for grant applications, facility use agreements, or other purposes, contact the Risk Management, Insurance & Claims Unit, rmic-group@unlv.edu
