Don’t miss these deadlines!
iNow that the term has started and orientation activities are winding down, the academic year is hitting its stride. As you get down to business — going to class, and starting in on all those assignments — here are a few key deadlines to keep in mind.
Opting out of your student health plan
(Quebec and Canadian residents)
Undergraduate students (registered for more than three credits and paying tuition fees at either the Canadian or Quebec rates) are automatically covered by the CSU Health and Dental Plan, the cost of which is included in your tuition bill.
If you are covered by another private insurer, then you can opt out of this fee during and only during the set opt out period: The CSU Health and Dental Plan opt-out period ends Thursday, September 19, 2013.
Graduate students are automatically covered by the GSA Health Insurance Plan. If you already have coverage through your place of work, a spouse’s program, or your parents’ plan you can opt out of this coverage. The GSA Health Insurance Plan opt-out period ends Monday, September 23, 2013.
International students can contact the International Students Office for more information on their health insurance coverage while studying in Montreal.
