Insuring Your Belongings

It is imperative that students safeguard their belongings. We encourage all students to have adequate insurance, either through a homeowner policy or by securing renters insurance. Many homeowner policies allow for a rider for renters insurance. Please discuss this matter with your insurance agent prior to your arrival at Hofstra. 

Students can also protect their property from theft, fire, smoke, water damage and more with Renters Insurance from GradGuard with coverage for your belongings including electronics with features custom-made for college. To sign up visit www.gradguard.com/renters/hofstra to get started. The University does not reimburse students for lost or damaged items.
