Health & Dental Plan
Who is covered?
Most full-time students (enrolled in nine or more credits) attending Capilano University in the Fall semester are automatically enrolled in the health and dental plan. Part-time students and full-time students starting in subsequent semesters have the option to opt in (self-enroll) during the change-of-coverage period in their first semester. This includes students at all three campuses, online students, and students taking courses at off-campus locations.
Opting Out
Opt-out options are available for students who can prove they have comparable coverage under another plan (e.g. through parents, work, or spouse), but only during the change-of-coverage period associated with the term they began classes.
Opting In (Self-enrolling and Enrolling Family)
During the change-of-coverage period, those who were not automatically enrolled may self-enroll in the semester they begin classes. During this time, students may also extend coverage to their spouse and/or dependent children. Visit the Studentcare website for more information on enrolling family members.
