International Student Opt-out
International students who are studying remotely in their home country starting in the Fall 2020 term are eligible to opt out of both the DSU International Health Plan and the DSU Health and Dental Plan.
Every Dalhousie student must have health insurance coverage ("coverage" refers to all of the things that your health plan includes/covers). Most new Dalhousie students are automatically enrolled into one of both health plans.
Opt in/out of the DSU Health & Dental Plan
If you already have equivalent coverage and want to opt-out, or if you do not have coverage and you want to opt-in, visit the DSU Health & Dental Plan and/or DSU International Health Plan websites for details.
The opt-out deadline for the 2020-21 academic year is September 18, 2020.
Note: Students must opt out of the plan every year
