Did you know that Missouri State University does not cover the cost of your personal
belongings being stolen or damaged? Therefore, you should consider renter’s insurance
before you move-in.
Missouri State University has partnered with GradGuard, which offers a unique renter’s
insurance program that has protected over 500,000 students nationwide. Here are a
few scenarios in which renter’s insurance can help:
💻You leave your laptop in the library unattended as you grab lunch, to later find that
it was stolen.
🔥You return to the residence halls after class, to find that someone accidentally caused
a fire on your floor and the smoke ruined all of your clothes, books and bedding.
☔You accidentally hang your clothes on the sprinkler head. Water damage destroys your
stuff and the belongings of other residents on your floor.
