• Whenever a club hires a vendor: caterer, bus company, entertainer, etc. the club should ask for a certificate of insurance that names the AAUM as an additional insured on the vendor’s general liability insurance on a primary, noncontributory basis. The limits should be at least $1 million, except for buses it should be at least $10 million.
• When a club is required to provide verification of insurance coverage in advance of a club event or activity, the club should contact the Business Office ([email protected] as soon as possible (and at least two weeks prior to the event) to request a certificate of insurance. The email should include the following information: 
• Name of the organization requesting the certificate, including contact person, phone number, email address; 
• Venue name, address, date, and time of the event; 
• Description and purpose of event and/or use of facility; and 
• Copies of any applicable contracts or agreements.

Strenuous & Risky Events: Waiver & Release Agreement 

The Association does not provide coverage for certain activities with a relatively high chance of injury, as the exposure for the Association is too high. These types of events include but are not limited to hiking, intramural sports, bike rides, saddle animals, challenge courses, skiing, rock climbing or any contact sport. For these events, the Association strongly recommends that the club notify the participants that no coverage exists and request they sign and return a Participant Waiver & Release Agreement (to be obtained from the AAUM Business Office) in advance of participating. For minors an ‘assumption of risk’ should be signed by their parent or legal guardian.
