Students are to apply under their school’s name and will be asked for their institution’s insurance if an active certificate of insurance is not already on file. To tie them into the school’s insurance, they must provide a copy of their valid student identification, and a copy of their course schedule with the class they are doing the film project for highlighted. Schools and government institutions are exempt from the Indemnity Agreement requirement.
