Yes. UTampa's Housing Agreement encourages residents to insure their personal belongings.

The University limits responsibility for resident personal property under the 2026–27 agreement. Families should consider renter's or personal-property coverage for theft, fire, water and other losses that may not be reimbursed by the University.
