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.
