Opt-Out Eligibility

How to Opt Out

To Opt Out, you must be enrolled in the Student Benefits Plan, meet the Opt-Out eligibility criteria, and complete the online form before the applicable term deadline.

Steps to Opt-Out
Things to consider:
  • A parents' insurance plan ceases coverage until you turn either 18 or 21, or up to 25 if you are studying full-time at a recognized education institution.
  • If you opt out of the dental plan, you are still considered to have access to dental insurance, which makes you ineligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
  • You can coordinate two benefit plans to maximize your coverage, potentially reaching up to 100% coverage! Find out more Coordination of Benefits.
  • Students with comparable coverage can choose to opt out of the health, dental, or both plans.
  • Approval of the Student Benefits Plan Opt-Out application will result in the plan fee being refunded according to the school's policy.
  • 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.

Eligibility Confirmation

Confirm your eligibility to opt out of the Student Benefits Plan by completing the following questions.

Are you a new student who has been assessed the LCSA Health and Dental Plans fees on your student account?

You can only be assessed the Student Benefits Plan fees if you meet the plan eligibility criteria. Check the Student Benefits Plan Eligibility Criteria.

Are you a returning student on the anniversary of your enrollment in the Student Benefits Plan, who has been assessed the LCSA Health and Dental Plans fees on your student account?

The anniversary refers to the date you first became eligible for the health and dental plan and were assessed the associated fees. For instance, if you were first eligible for the health and dental plan in the winter term, your anniversary would happen every winter term.

Have you ever opted out of the Student Benefits Plan?

Are you currently covered by a comparable Health and Dental Plan through a parent, spouse, employer, or Indigenous band?

The Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP), an International Emergency Plan, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) or the Student Benefits Plan are not acceptable as comparable insurance coverage.
