The University of Wisconsin System is self-funded for property protection under Wisconsin Statute, Section 20.865. This statute provides coverage for loss of University-owned property, with some exclusions. It applies to buildings, contents, capital equipment, supplies and vehicles.

All losses are subject to a $500 deductible, with two exceptions: there is a $2500 deductible for theft when there is no sign of forced entry; and $0 deductible on vehicle glass breakage.

If a department becomes aware of a potential claim they should contact the Safety & Loss Control office. An investigation will be conducted and the claim processed if applicable.

Please note that all property claims must be concluded within 90 days of the incident.
