Insurance Coverage
Graduate students’ health and dental insurance plan includes coverage for professional health services, prescription drugs, dental care, eye examinations and glasses, and travel insurance. This plan is provided to GSAÉD’s members via the Canadian Federation of Students’ National Student Health Network. Greenshield Insurance, Canada’s only not-for-profit insurance provider, offers the most comprehensive set of benefits available for a campus health and dental plan.
The coverage period is from September 1 to August 31. All full-time students starting in September are automatically covered under the plan. Part-time students and students starting in January can opt-in. Students can also pay a supplemental premium to cover their spouse or family.

If you wish to opt out of the health and/or dental insurance plan, the only way to do so is via your uoZone account. From there, click on Finances and jobs , choose Opt-out and provide the information requested by the insurance company. You must apply to opt out every school year that you do not want insurance coverage through the GSAÉD. You have to enter information regarding your comparable coverage with another insurance plan. A confirmation will be sent to you and a credit will be applied automatically to your uOttawa student account. Please note that the provincially administered health plans (OHIP, QHIP, and UHIP) do not constitute comparable coverage for the purposes of deregistration from the Greenshield group insurance offered by the GSAÉD.
