Health and dental insurance

The student health and dental plan is provided through the Ontario Tech's Student Union (OTSU) and is available for all full-time domestic students. If you have other coverage, you can use the student insurance in co-ordination with your current plan to increase coverage, or you can opt out of the health and dental portion of the plan. Health and dental ancillary fees, MyVirtualDoctor and the Legal Protection Program are the only fees you can opt out of—all other ancillary fees are compulsory. 

If you are opting out, you must meet the following deadlines to be eligible for the refund:

  1. The deadline for all fees, which must be paid in full to your tuition account—including your health and dental fee.
  2. The deadline to opt out of the health and dental plan online.

You have the following opt-out or opt-in options:

  • Health plan only
  • Dental plan only
  • Both health and dental
