Insurance

United States University provides worker’s compensation and liability insurance for Student Teacher while they are engaged in student teaching or other field-based credential classes. This means Student Teachers are only covered while they are actively enrolled in credential program courses. Student Teachers must purchase additional liability insurance from one of a variety of insurance sources. For example, membership in the Student California Teachers Association (SCTA) provides up to one million dollars of liability insurance and free legal referrals. (See this website for more information: http://www.cta.org/membership/scta.) Additionally, as a NEA Student Program member you qualify for one million dollars of insurance through the NEA Educators Employment Liability Program. (See this website for more information: http://www.nea.org/home/30844.htm.)

 

You will need to purchase additional insurance in addition to your USU supplied insurance. To do this, view the information below from the CTA.
