How to Opt Out

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

Steps to Opt-Out

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.
Things to consider:
  • The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) or The Student Plan is not acceptable as comparable insurance coverage.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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 cannot choose to opt out of the health or dental, the opt-out Withdraw you from 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.
