Why Renters Insurance?
Even in the safety of the residential halls at Sheridan College, accidents and theft can happen. Renters insurance helps protect your belongings—like your laptop, phone, clothes, or bike—if they’re stolen, damaged by fire, or affected by other covered events. It can also provide liability coverage if someone gets injured in your room. For just a few dollars a month, renters insurance gives students and parents peace of mind knowing that unexpected mishaps won’t derail your academic year or your budget.
Housing Contract
Sheridan College assumes no financial responsibility over the personal property of residents, nor will the institution be financially responsible for large-scale, unintentional damage caused to university property by on-campus residents, such damage caused by a fire or discharge of a sprinkler-head.
