• SOGS Health Plan Opt In/Out Information

  Opt-in and Opt-out deadline is the last business day of the first month of your enrolment term.  If you still choose to opt-out and do so by the deadline you will receive a refund of your health plan premiums (excluding administration fees) you were billed on your tuition fee bill.
  

•  Opt-Out of the SOGS Health Coverage Online Opt-Out

  If you are already covered under an extended health plan (this does not mean your provincial health care plan – e.g., UHIP or OHIP), then you may choose to opt-out of the SOGS plan.

  You should know that your student health plan includes benefits specially designed for student needs.  You may find it to your advantage to remain enrolled in both this plan and your other extended health plan in order to increase your total coverage by coordinating the benefits of the two plans.
