Accidents and Insurance
The Department of Campus Recreation and Wellness (CRW), the Division for Student Affairs, and the University of Baltimore are not responsible for injuries incurred in intramural, recreational, fitness and sport club activities. CRW will provide first aid if possible, and along with the University Police, will solicit transportation to a hospital if necessary. Medical expenses beyond those covered by the participant’s insurance are the responsibility of the participant.
Participants should know and be able to meet the physical demands of any activity in which they are to engage. Each activity has a certain degree of risk, some more than others. CRW STRONGLY recommends all students not covered by health and accident insurance purchase student insurance.
Information about Student Health Services can be found at our Student Health Services page.
