Accidents

All on-campus accidents/injuries are reportable to your instructor/supervisor, campus safety, and/or the college nurse. Minor first-aid for accidents is available in the Health Services office. Further evaluation or treatment may be advised. For serious accidents 9-1-1 (EMS) will be summoned for transport to a local hospital emergency department.

Campus safety, the college nurse, or your instructor/supervisor will complete the appropriate accident reporting forms. The injured individual may also be asked to complete an accident form.

All full-time students enrolled for twelve (12) or more credit hours will have mandatory accident insurance that provides specified coverage for accidental injury. The insurance excludes motor vehicle accidents. Part-time students are encouraged to enroll in this minimal-cost program.

Accident insurance claim forms for covered individuals are available in the Health Services office at each campus, or by visiting the insurance program website at http://www.niagaranational.com/.
