Insurance Instructions

Main Content

All vendors doing business with Southern Illinois University (SIU) must have a current Certificate of Insurance on file. The current status of a vendor’s insurance certificate may be determined by viewing the insurance expiration dates for a particular vendor within the AIS system. In order to protect SIU from risk exposures, view Risk Management’s Indemnification and Insurance Requirements.

    • General Liability-minimum coverage $3,000,000
    • Automobile Liability-minimum coverage $1,000,000
    • Workers Compensation-minimum coverage $500,000

  • If the vendor is coming on campus to perform a service, they must have General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Workers Compensation. 

  • The Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University must be listed as Additional Insured on General Liability and Automobile Liability.

  • If the vendor’s insurance is not current, please have them fax an updated Certificate of Insurance as soon as possible to (618) 453-6720.

  • No payments will be made on a Purchase Order or Direct Voucher until Procurement Services has a current Certificate of Insurance on file.

  • If the P-Card is used and the vendor does not have a current Certificate of Insurance, this may result in the revocation of your P-Card.
