On college campuses, residential spaces, often filled with thousands of dollars worth of electronics, books, and other valuables, are often targets for criminals. Remember, you—not the College—are responsible for replacing stolen or damaged property.

GradGuard Renters Insurance is a smart investment for college students and their families. With the GradGuard Renters Insurance plan, any personal items that are stolen or damaged by a covered cause of loss can be replaced, subject to a $100 deductible. This includes clothing, computers/laptops/tablets, smart phones, bikes, game consoles, textbooks, furniture, and more. GradGuard Renters Insurance also protects students financially from unintentional damages they may cause to their residence hall or bodily injury they may cause to others for which they are legally liable. With low annual rates, GradGuard Renters Insurance is designed for Carleton students and their families.

Features of GradGuard Renters Insurance for Carleton students include:

• Low $100 Deductible. Compared to $500, $1000, or more for a typical homeowners insurance policy.
• Replacement Cost. If your personal property is stolen or damaged due to a covered peril, it will be replaced with an item of like kind and quality.
• Worldwide coverage. Your belongings are protected even outside your home. If you are traveling or your car gets broken into, GradGuard Renters Insurance can help cover property losses outside your residence.
• Electronics coverage. Your electronics, including your TV, laptop, smartphone, and tablet, are covered up to the policy limits.
• Personal Liability Coverage. If you cause damage to property or injure others, you may be liable for the damages. GradGuard Renters Insurance provides up to $300,000 in personal liability coverage. For example, if you unintentionally set off your building’s sprinkler system, liability protection can help pay for the resulting damages.
• Alternative to Homeowners Insurance. Not all Homeowners Insurance policies are the same. Limitations may apply when property is away from the principal residence. With GradGuard Renters Insurance, personal belongings are covered whether you are on-campus, off-campus, or traveling anywhere in the world, up to the policy limits.
