Risk Management and Insurance works to optimize risk identification, mitigation, and control in all university activities. It protects the university's assets by identifying and analyzing risk exposures, controlling those exposures, mitigating risks, financing losses, and implementing and monitoring risk-management processes.
Claims
Learn about types of claims, how to initiate the claims process, steps for reporting, and related resources. Any loss or incident must be reported to Risk Management within 24 hours.
Driving on UO Business
Drivers operating any vehicle used for university-business travel must act in accordance with all applicable laws, state regulations, and University of Oregon policies and procedures. Before driving, there are requirements to follow. Information about driver requirements and certification are available on the Transportation Services website.
