To help UFV students pay for the health services they need, SUS has partnered with StudentCare to provide students with extended health and dental coverage at an affordable price. The plan is designed specifically for students to cover many services not covered by the British Columbia Medical Services Plan (MSP).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When students accept admission to UFV, they become members of our community. Much like the social contract between a government and its citizens, UFV students contribute to representation, social services, and infrastructure for our student community.
It is understood that different parts of our student community will utilize various facilities supported by these fees at different times during their student journey.
Particularly in regards to services such as the Campus Shuttle, it is understood that some students may not utilize them, however, to make these services accessible for those students in need, it is accepted as a part of this community that we will support one another.
From organizing/attending student events to receiving funding support for a club or society, taking transit or the Campus Shuttle, going to the gym, and studying in the Student Union Building to ensuring several elected UFV students are voicing student concerns and opinions, these fees bring only a few of the benefits to our community.
Please explore the website and @ufvsus social media to learn more about how the UFV Student Union serves our community!

The fees are payable for each semester that you take classes. UFV collects society fees, but we (UFVSUS) set the amounts.
If you enroll in 9 or more credits in the Fall semester, the system will automatically enroll you in the Health and Dental plan. You pay this fee only once a year, and it covers you until the end of August next year.
If you begin your studies in January and enroll in 9 or more credits, your fee is reduced, as the coverage lasts only until August. If you already have this type of coverage, you can opt out of the health and dental plan.
-
You can opt out of the Health & Dental Plan and the U-Pass if you meet eligibility requirements.
