  • You can coordinate 2 benefit plans and increase your coverage up to 100%! Find out more Coordination of Benefits
  • What is in the best interest of my overall health and well-being?
  • Does my existing coverage meet all my needs?
  • The only time you can get back on this student plan is at the anniversary of starting your program (every year) OR within 30 days of losing your comparable coverage.

Proof of Comparable Coverage

You are required to provide proof of your comparable extended health and dental coverage by attaching documentation displaying the policy information when you are completing the online form.

Confirmation of coverage must show the name of the insurance company providing the coverage and the policy number. Acceptable forms of confirmation of coverage are:

  • Copy of a benefits card (front and back images).
  • Confirmation letter from the employer or insurance company with a current date.
  • Recent health care claim statement with the current date (within 3 months of application submission).
  • Webpage printout with a visible current date.
Important notes:
  • Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or The Student Plan is not acceptable as comparable insurance coverage.
  • Students with comparable coverage can choose to opt out of health, dental, or both.
  • The comparable coverage accepted could be from parents, spouse, work, government, or band.
  • Approval of the Students opt-out will result in the plan fee being refunded according to the school's policy. The Opt-Out result is a one-time process. This means students do not need to apply every term or year.
  • NO EXCEPTIONS will be made if the deadline is missed. It is the student's responsibility to pay the plan's mandatory fees, should they miss the applicable opt-out deadline.
  • Once you complete the opt-out form, you will receive an automated email confirmation. Please keep this email for your records as it is your only proof of submitting an opt-out request.
