What is TULIP?

The TULIP is a Tenant-user Liability Insurance Policy also known as "Events Coverage".  It is designed to provide insurance coverage for third parties who are using Winthrop University Facilities.  It protects both the Facility User and Winthrop University against claims by third parties who may be injured or lose property as a result of participating in an event. It is event specific, and can also cover vendors, performers, and exhibitors, if needed.

How does the program work?

The tenant-user accesses the web site http://urmia.bene-marc.com with Winthrop University's unique pass code (31252564 to be used by external and internal uses)  and provide the necessary information about the event that is being held.  The transaction is concluded with payment by credit card by the tenant-user.

Upon completion of the transaction, copies of the application and certificate coverage are e-mailed to the tenant user, Winthrop University's Risk Management Office and the events planning office.
