George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Student Health Benefits
We know that good health is a foundation of your general well-being. But we also know that health care can cost a lot of money. With these two truths in mind, the Student Association seeks each year to provide George Brown Polytechnic students with affordable, high quality health and dental coverage- coverage that goes beyond the scope of the regular Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).
If you are an Immigrant or Canadian Student, you are covered in the Domestic Student Health Benefits Plan. If you are a Post Secondary International Student, you are covered in the Post Secondary International Student Health Benefits Plan. International ESL Students Health Benefits Plan only covers the International students that are only taking ESL classes in GBC. Each student health benefits plan has different coverage and is provided by a different insurance company.
Please note that students enrolled in Continuing Education courses and Apprenticeship are not covered in the Student Health Insurance plan.
For details on the plan specific to you please see the Student Association – Health Benefits Program webpage.
All student questions/concerns should be directed to the Student Benefits hotline at 416-415-2443, by email or via LiveChat on the Student Association website.
