Winter Safety Information 

With wind chills reaching as low as -40, frostbite can occur within 10 minutes. During the winter weather advisory, stay indoors whenever possible. Be sure to keep your cellphone charged and have access to blankets, water, and other necessities.  

If you must go out, dress in layers: wear fabrics that retain heat, use insulation layers to trap air, and choose outer layers that are wind and water-resistant. Stay dry and avoid excessive sweating to maintain body heat. 

Stay indoors, stay warm, and stay safe, Clarkies!

Insurance

Personal Property Insurance

The university does not carry personal property insurance on faculty, staff and students, and is not responsible for the loss or damage of such property. Student personal property located on campus often is insured under a parent’s homeowners policy.

Physical Therapy, Nursing and Social Work Student Professional Liability Insurance

Physical therapy and nursing students participating in clinicals or social work students participating in the social work practicum program will be required to pay a $80/year liability insurance fee (subject to change). The university cannot accept proof of insurance as a substitution for the fee. This fee protects the individual as well as the university only during times when the student participates in institutionally sponsored clinicals.

Clarke University Student Health Insurance

All domestic students are required to have health insurance through their own insurance carrier. All international students are required to have international student health insurance through Clarke University. View health insurance information and resources.
