What is it for?

Supplemental health and dental insurance is for students to covers services not covered under OHIP, UHIP and other basic health-care programs.

Who receives coverage?

If you are a full-time undergraduate student enrolled in at least 1.5 "normally on-campus" units, or a graduate student in a program designated as "on-campus", you will automatically be charged the for the WUSA health & dental plans or the GSA health & dental plans. These plans are supplementary health and dental insurance plans negotiated with Studentcare by the WUSA and the GSA on behalf of students.

What do these insurance plans cover?

Detailed information on what is covered by these insurance plans can be found on the WUSA and GSA studentcare webpages.

What if I already have health and dental coverage?
