The Undergraduate Student Health & Dental Plans are mandatory for all Full & Part-Time students. Students may opt-out if they have proof of alternative extended health & dental coverage, or may remain enrolled and combine benefits from both plans.

​

Winter term start students choosing to opt out must do so through the Student VIP website between December 2nd, 2024 - January 17th, 2024. You can not opt out until you see your Health and Dental Plan fees assessed on your LORIS Account. Please wait until you see the fees on your LORIS account before requesting an opt out.

​

The Health and Dental plan fees are billed to your student account one time per year only, depending on whether you begin your studies in Fall or Winter Term. If you were assessed Health and Dental plan fees in the Fall term, you will not be eligible to opt-out or opt family in at this time. The Fall change of coverage period was from August 6th, 2024 - September 20th, 2024. 

 

Please visit studentvip.ca to review the benefits prior to opting out. In many situations, it will be financially beneficial for you to remain on the plan and coordinate benefits with another plan you may already have.

 

Students will be reassessed and charged a fee for the plans on a yearly basis. This means you will need to provide proof of alternative coverage and opt-out each year you are a student (including co-op work terms). Alternatively, if you opt out this year, you are still eligible for the plans in subsequent years.

Once you opt out, you are not eligible under any circumstance to opt back in during the current policy year of September 1 to August 31 (this includes a parent experiencing a loss of employment and benefits).
