Reporting incidents

How do I report incidents insured under the “Burglary” policy?

• On campus: Report the incident to USP Campus Security or your Regional Campus Director. They will arrange any police reporting as per the USP policy.
• Off campus: You should report any theft to the police and your USP departments as per USP policy.

How do I submit details for any claim?

• Report incidents to the Risk and Insurance Unit immediately. After business hours, the incident must be notified on the next business day.
• The Risk and Insurance Unit will review if we are eligible to claim. The Unit will provide you with a list of required documents. You will also be given a deadline for submitting them. This deadline must be met. Insurers set strict deadlines on receiving claim information. Settlements also require compliance with policy terms and conditions on providing information.
