Certificates of Insurance - LC State

A certificate of insurance (COI) shows what type of insurance an entity has. When someone requests a COI from LC State, they want proof of our coverage. When LC State requests a COI from third parties, it is to ensure that state requirements are met when we contract with vendors and construction companies.  

LC State Proof of Insurance: A certificate of insurance (COI) that shows coverage for LC State will be limited to $500,000 per our Retained Risk Program through the State of Idaho. LC State is not able to "Additionally Insure" third parties, but can add as "Certificate Holder."  

LC State participates in the Retained Risk Program administered through the State of Idaho and is subject to the limits of liability in Idaho Code 6-901 through 6-929, known as the Idaho Tort Claims Act (ITCA). The Retained Risk Program is self-funded for liability exposures and privately insured for property losses. 

Requesting a COI for a 3rd Party: If requesting a COI from a 3rd party, please send our minimum requirements that are available as a pdf document on this web page. 

Professional Student Liability Insurance: This COI can be requested by emailing risk@lcsc.edu. This insurance is purchased separately and is not a part of the Retained Risk Program.
