University Event Services
For non-ODU organizations, ODU requires General Liability Insurance and additional university requirements for events with minors present. The general liability insurance must have the following minimum limits and coverage: must have Old Dominion University and the Commonwealth of Virginia listed as an additional insured on the policy, $1,000,000 per occurrence limit for personal injury to or death of any one person, or more than one person, as a result of any one accident or disaster, and include coverage for property damage, medical payments, sexual abuse, molestation, and harassment.
Groups that involve minors on campus must also have someone from their organization go through the Youth Programs Training to become a Youth Program Director/Administrator, as well as register their event with the university online. These items will need to be completed and approved by the Office of Risk Management prior to your rental beginning and can sometimes take a couple of weeks to get fully approved.
