Membership in a student insurance plan was voted as being mandatory by the student body. The fee for the plan covers accidents and some medical and dental expenses.
Please consult this website for the schedule of benefits available to you under your Group Insurance Plan.
To make the collection of the insurance premiums efficient and inexpensive for the Students’ Association (SPUSA), Saint Paul University has agreed to include the charge with the tuition. Therefore, a fee for individual coverage is added to the tuition payment of full-time students and appears on the invoice. It covers the student for a 12-month period starting in September. Family insurance is also available.
Any student with comparable coverage may opt out of the plan by providing sufficient proof of equivalent coverage. To opt out of or opt into the plan, go to the Studentcare website.
Change-of-Coverage Period Dates for 2024–2025
The Change-of-Coverage Period is the period at the beginning of the academic year when you can either opt out, enrol yourself, or enrol your spouse and/or dependent children in the UOSU / SPUSA Health & Dental Plan.
