Insurance

St Johns College is not responsible for your personal belongings. It is recommended that you purchase tenants insurance through your insurance broker. Some residents may be covered by your family's house insurance.

Before you talk to an insurance broker you may want to think about the following:

  • What is covered by the policy?
  • Does the insurance cover my belongings during moving in/out
  • You are responsible for reporting thefts to campus security.

Laundry

Refunds must be done in person during regular office hours.
