Flex your Health and Dental Plan
Spring-Summer Deadline: June 3rd, 2022
30 days from the start of the term
Only new students or returning students whose anniversary of enrollment is the current term who have never flexed the plan may apply to flex your plan before the deadline.
All eligible students are automatically enrolled in the Balanced plan, so they do not need to apply to keep their Balanced Plan.
Eligibility Criteria
There are 2 scenarios for flexing your plan and suit your Health and Dental needs:
1New Students
Students starting an eligible program as having full-time status who wish to suit their needs by choosing a FLEXible Plan offered by the Association may apply
within 30 days from the start date of the term.
2Returning Students
Returning Students enrolled in their anniversary of starting an eligible program as having full-time status who wish to suit their needs by choosing a FLEXible Plan offered by the Association and have never flexed the plan may apply
within 30 days from the anniversary of starting their program.
FLEXible plan options
The Students' Association offers 3 Health and Dental Plans to help students to suit their needs. All eligible students are enrolled by default in the Balanced Plan. However, Students have the following options to flex their plan at no additional charges:
- FLEXible Drug & Parameds
- FLEXible Vision & Parameds
- FLEXible Dental

No additional charge to Flex your Plan.
Important notes:
- Students can Flex their benefit plan only once during their program. Once their Flex plan is approved, it will remain in effect for future terms.
- If you started your program in a different term than the current one, your request to flex your plan will not be approved at this time. Your next opportunity to flex your plan would be the next anniversary of the start date of your program.
- There is a 60 day validation period from the start of the term. Your flex plan option will be not reflected on your account until the end of the validation period.
- If the student extends the plan to the family, the family will have the same plan that the student has chosen.
- Students choosing to Flex their Benefits must be enrolled in BOTH the Health and the Dental plan.
- NO EXCEPTIONS will be made if the deadline is missed.
- Once you complete the Flex your Plan form, you will receive an automated email confirmation. Please keep this email for your records as it is your only proof of submitting a Flex your Plan request.
