Only students currently enrolled at the University are covered by the University’s Insurance Policy. The University’s insurance only covers student placements which are clearly identified as relevant to a student’s course of study.  If a placement or project does not seem to match this criteria students will not be covered by the University’s insurance.

For insurance coverage it is vital to return completed form to your unit/work placement convenor.
