Colorado State University-Global (CSU-Global), located in Greenwood Village, offers students 100% online courses to complete a Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree. Hazard or pure risks exist for this scholarly institution. Traditional risk management allows CSU-Global to assess and treat these risks. Generally, this is accomplished through insurance, specifically property-casualty, which transfers the risk of loss from the policyholder to the insurer. For this university, five loss exposures will be identified and studied using the six-step traditional risk management process.
