Student Health and Wellness! mystudentplan provides health, prescriptions, dental, mental health care plus additional benefits for eligible students.
Students who are admitted to the Adult Learning Program (ALP) are automatically enrolled in mystudentplan - Student Health and Dental Plans, as well as the myvirtualdoctor - Virtual Health Care Program. Eligible students have the option to opt out of these plans if they meet the following criteria:
All new ALP students who are studying full-time and taking in-person or blended delivery classes will be automatically added to the NSCC Health & Dental Plan.
New students must complete their ALP Transition Period before their benefits become available. Once your ALP Counsellor completes your checklist, your benefits will be activated. If you haven’t opted out, you will be added to the plan and able to submit claims right back to the first day of the month you started your program.
New students may be eligible to have the cost of their plan covered, while still having access to the benefits. Students have access to a one-time ALP waiver that covers the cost of the Health & Dental Plan. Please contact the Benefits Plan Office with any questions.
Returning ALP students will be charged the health and dental fee unless they complete an opt out before the deadline.
Students studying ALP through eCampus or enrolled in ALP-AU are not automatically included in the plan. If you would like to be included, you must submit an Opt In form by the deadline.
Students can choose to opt-out of the plans if they have comparable coverage through their parents, spouse, government program, employer, or band.
All full-time and part-time ALP students (including ALP-AU) taking in-person or eCampus courses will be automatically enrolled in myvirtualdoctor.
myvirtualdoctor provides students and their eligible family members 24/7 access to virtual health care through their smart phone, tablet or computer anywhere in Canada.
