Insurance Northern State University is not responsible for personal property that is lost, stolen, or damaged in the residence halls. Nor does the university have insurance on student’s personal property. Many homeowners’ insurance policies cover students’ belongings while away at college. We recommend that you check with your family and insurance agent to verify that coverage exists for your personal belongings while living on campus. If you do not have coverage, information on a low cost insurance program can be obtained through the Office of Residence Life or by calling The National Student Services Inc. at 1-800-256-6774. Students are encouraged to utilize our Operation Registration process as referenced later in this Guide.
