Supplemental Health and Dental Insurance

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 part-time or full-time undergraduate student, or a graduate student in a program not designated as "online”, 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.

Co-op students have coverage only during academic terms and official co-op work terms.

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?

Please see our Opt outs-Supplemental Health and Dental page for information on how to opt out if you are eligible.

Who will not have coverage?

You will NOT automatically be charged for or enrolled in the WUSA/GSA health & dental plans if you are:
•a Regular (not Co-op) undergraduate student enrolled in Spring term, but who was not enrolled in the previous Winter term
•a graduate student on a co-op term
