On-Campus University-Sanctioned Events
Willamette University does carry insurance that will cover most University-sanctioned events. However, some events fall into higher risk categories that may require the purchase of a TULIP policy also known as Special Events Insurance. These situations are determined by the University Facilities and Events Committee (or UFEC). A few examples of instances that may require additional insurance be purchased:
- Event involves inflatables, mechanical bulls or other party rentals
- Contracted artist/speaker cannot provide required insurance as stated on Performance Contract
- Large recreational activity which involves the surrounding community members such as a 5-k walk/run, a triathlon, or a sporting tournament
- Events that invite persons under 18 years of age, persons who are not Willamette community members and/or events where alcohol is served.

Off-Campus Patrons Renting University Facilities for their Event
The University requires all off-campus groups renting facilities at Willamette provide a Certificate of Insurance that provides proof of liability insurance for the specified event. The minimum limit of liability coverage is one million dollars per occurrence for non-sporting events and two million per occurrence for sporting. The policy should cover spectators and participants and should name the University as an additional insured. The policy must be received by the sponsoring department prior to the event or by the date specified on the User's contract.
