______________________________________________
[1] An employee is defined as an individual engaged under appointment or contract for hire, expressed or implied. This includes faculty, staff, appointed officials, hourly personnel, student employees (including work-study), interns and graduate assistants performing work for which they are paid through the payroll. Insurance also covers students involved in non-remunerated internship, cooperative education and practicum programs. These non-remunerated students are covered if assigned at non Colorado State University campuses or businesses. The insurance does not cover visitors, private contractors providing services for hire, or persons being paid by non-University sources even though working in a University facility or engaged in University projects.
