Renter's Insurance
Students are encouraged to have renter's insurance policies to cover the replacement value of possessions. Morningside College does not carry insurance to cover residents’ belongings, such as clothing, notebook computers, computers, TVs, and other valuable personal possessions. In the event of loss or theft, a student will be responsible for the replacement costs. In some cases, your parent's home owner's insurance may cover your personal items, contact your insurance company for confirmation prior to move in.
Storage
There are NO areas for storage of personal items, furniture, boxes, or bicycles during the school year or the summer months. There are storage units available for rent in Sioux City. Check local listings once you get to campus.
