The Family add-on fees cover your dependents until August 31^st. If you wish to keep your family covered, you must submit a new application before the applicable fall deadline.
The family Add-On fees are not assessed as part of your term fees. If your application is approved, the Benefits Plan Office emails you a link, the payment deadline, and instructions to pay online using a credit card.

Things to consider:

You can only add as a dependent to your Student Benefits Plan your spouse or common-law partner and your children. Parents, grandparents, and siblings do not qualify as dependents.
Your dependents would be covered under your Student Benefits Plan, which means they would be entitled to the benefits you have through your plan.
Each dependent added uses the same plan card that the student has. The plan card must have the student's information (Full name and student ID).
Family Add-On fees are not automatically renewed every fall term. If students wish to keep the dependents covered, they must re-apply every fall.
NO EXCEPTIONS will be made if the application or payment is missed. It is the student's responsibility to check their emails regarding the status of the application or deadlines.
