Procedures & Responsibilities

The Workers’ Compensation Program is administered by University Risk Management. Please refer to the links below for more detailed guidance, i.e., procedures, workplace notices, reporting.  Please remember that in order to return to work, you must submit a release from your health care practitioner confirming you are cleared for duty.

  • Regarding student workers who are injured on the job: A student worker who is injured during work should seek medical attention off-campus at a facility of their choosing. Even though they are students, they should NOT be directed to Campus Health first.
  • Regarding emergency transport after an injury: If picked up on-campus by ambulance, the medical personnel on board should not be attempting to determine where to take someone based on their insurance. The injured employee should be sent directly to the nearest emergency facility.

For more information regarding worker’s compensation, please refer to the website Reporting Procedures site.
