Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursing Education and Research (Gakkensai) and liability insurance coupled with Gakkensai (optional liability rider)
　At Kanazawa University, to prepare for accidents during student life, it is compulsory to enroll in Gakkensai with a liability rider. Both types of insurance cover students at universities and junior colleges nationwide, and are administered by Japan Educational Exchanges and Services.
*For international students who have enrolled in the inbound general life rider, optional liability rider is not necessary.

(1)Overview of Gakkensai
　Pays out both in Japan and abroad in event of ① a sudden and random external accident that occurs during education or research activities and ② physical injury suffered due to an accident while moving at an educational facility etc. Note that “illness” is not covered by this insurance.

(2)Overview of liability rider
　Pays out both in Japan and abroad in the event of a loss incurred as result of being legally liable for compensation after having caused an injury to another person or damage to another person’s property (except the cases due to a traffic accident) while participating in the regular curriculum, school events, extracurricular activities, or traveling to or from them (including internships, nursing care practice, teaching practice, volunteering, and traveling to and from such activities where they are positioned by the university as part of the regular curriculum or school events).
　Note that “extracurricular activities” in the liability rider differ from “extracurricular activities” in Gakkensai. Specifically, in the former they refer to internships and volunteering conducted by organizations that have been approved by the university as being conducted for the purpose of internships or volunteering.

(3)Other
　You can make insurance claims from the person in charge of your school etc., so please let them know immediately if an accident occurs. For more details, please inquire at the Health Service Center office
