 San José State University strongly recommends GradGuard Renters Insurance for all students. Renters
Insurance provides valuable protection if a student’s personal belongings are stolen or damaged by a covered
peril. Covered belongings include: laptop computers, smart phones, bicycles, game consoles, textbooks, clothing
and other items.
With the GradGuard Renters Insurance plan, any personal property that is stolen or damaged by a covered peril
can be replaced at full cost, subject to a $100 deductible. GradGuard Renters Insurance also protects students
financially for unintentional damage to university property, or bodily injury to others for which the student is
legally liable, within the residence premises. The cost for this coverage starts at $185.08 for the academic year. A
brochure will be in your Resident packet. For additional information, including coverage details and exclusions,
please visit https://gradguard.com/renters-insurance or call GradGuard at 866-985-7598.
