Personal Computer and Property Insurance Many students suffer damages from accidents ranging from major floods to ordinary spills that wreak havoc with their computers, phones, clothing and other essential personal property. None of these losses are insured by the College. That's why we facilitated a very affordable, comprehensive student property insurance backed by the highest ratings for service and quality. This coverage is available to all students at WCMC on a voluntary basis. Students can go directly online and enroll in this coverage. Free of cost IP address Tracking Security Software can be downloaded from the vendor. Coverage can be obtained for up to $10,000 per claim with an annual premium from $60-$214. This Coverage is now also available to Weill Cornell Employees.
