Accident Insurance
All students are required to purchase accident insurance. The accident insurance fee is part of the registration fees. In case of an accident, the student is responsible for any expenses not paid by this accident insurance. Accident insurance provides coverage for medical expenses related to accidents (accidental injury or death) as specified below:
College
Time Coverage protects students while engaged in College activities during the entire semester.
Traveling
To or from the student’s residence and the College to attend classes or as a member of a supervised group (not as a spectator) traveling in a College-furnished vehicle or chartered transportation going to or from a College-sponsored activity.
On the College Premises
During the hours when the College is in session or any other time while the student is required to participate in a College-sponsored activity (not as a spectator).
Away from the College Premises
As a member of a supervised group participating in a College-sponsored activity requiring the attendance of the student (not as a spectator).
The accident insurance program does not cover GVTC (Georgia Virtual Technical Connection) students as this program is unsupervised by nature.
Accident Investigation
In the event of any accident and/or injury involving a student, visitor, or employee at Ogeechee Technical College, a member of the faculty or staff must promptly complete a standard Campus Incident/Accident/Crime Report. The report should be returned to the Campus Safety and Security Office and Human Resources Office. An accident report must be completed in the event of any accident, regardless of how minor or superficial it may appear.
