Health and Dental Family Add-On Application

Winter deadline to submit applications
January 30th, 2024

Eligible students who are enrolled in the Benefit Plan may apply by the applicable deadline to extend their coverage to their dependents.

Eligibility Criteria

There are 2 circumstances for adding family members to the Student Health and Dental Plan:

1 Academic Enrollment

Eligible students who wish to extend their benefits to their dependents may apply in fall or winter enrollment:

  • Fall Enrollment: Eligible students may apply to add their dependents to the benefit plan before the fall deadline.
  • Winter Enrollment: Only new and returning eligible students who have NOT attended the fall term may apply to add their dependents by the winter deadline.

If you miss the term deadline, the next opportunity to add family members will be next fall.

2 Lifestyle Change

Students enrolled in the plan who have a lifestyle change such as getting married, meeting the twelve-month co-habitation requirement for common law status, or birth/adoption of a child who wish to extend their plan to their dependents may apply within 30 days of lifestyle change.

To apply, please email proof of Lifestyle Change to the Benefit Plan Office at stfxplan@mystudentplan.ca. If you are eligible to add family members, the office will send a link for the application.

Documentation includes a marriage certificate, birth certificate, or adoption documents.
