Effective Fall 2009 All enrolled Graduate and Undergraduate students are required to purchase the CSI Student Personal Property Insurance facilitated by Fireman's Fund. This insurance policy will cover the school’s insurance deductible of $5000 on NYU equipment. A copy of the insurance policy will be required from the Department, prior to releasing any school equipment to the student.
OVERVIEW CSI/Fireman’s Fund Insurance is a low-cost personal property insurance program that was designed specifically to meet the needs of college students enrolled in film and/or photography courses. This plan includes basic coverage for personal items (computers, iPods, electronics, cell phones) as well as additional coverage for third party camera equipment that you borrow from the school.
HOW TO ENROLL Students can purchase a policy online at www.collegestudentinsurance.com. Simply select 'New York University Photo/Film/Journalism' from the drop-down menu, and choose your coverage. There are many options to choose from for your basic plan, ranging anywhere from $6000 to $25,000 in coverage as of this publication. It is up to you to decide your coverage limit and your deductible, and the prices vary. Once you have made your selection, you will be prompted to add the third party equipment coverage, for an additional cost of $60.00. This program provides a limit of $25,000 in coverage with a $25.00 deductible.
Here is one example of the cost breakdown for this insurance plan:
Basic Plan ($6000 covg./$100 ded.) $90.00 + 3rd Party Camera Equipment ($25,000 covg./$25 ded.) $60.00 + processing fee $5.00 = $155.00
To clarify: you must purchase one of the basic personal property plans before being given the option to choose the camera equipment coverage.
Please note: Because CSI is provided by the The Fireman’s Fund and not NYU, the prices are subject to change.
