Equipment Insurance
How to Purchase Media & Film Equipment Insurance
The Department of Communication, Media & Journalism is pleased to announce that students now have the option to purchase their own equipment for class or use the equipment that we have purchased for student use.
Your professor will let you know during the first class if equipment will be required for your course, and then you can decide how you want to proceed.
The department has Panasonic Cameras, Lenses, Tripods, Microphones, Lighting Kits, Gimbals, Teleprompters, Dollies, Monitors, Podcasting Equipment, Steadicam Vests, Audio Equipment, and more!
Insurance policies run approximately $138 annually, and cover $25,000 worth of damage (including glass items). Policies can be canceled at any time, and you will receive a pro-rated refund from the insurance company.
Policies can be purchased through Gallagher Insurance Company.

There will be a check in/check out system in place, and purchasing this policy will not guarantee all equipment will be available without a prior reservation.
