Health and Dental Insurance

All full-time students at NSAC are automatically enrolled in the Student Health and Dental plans when they register for classes (international students are added to the plan once they are approved for MSI coverage).

The deadline each year coincides with NSAC's last date to register for a course. More information regarding your Student Health and Dental plans can be found at www.gallivan.ca or by visiting your on-site Student Benefits Plan Office.
