When eligible, all students are encouraged to have coverage in both a primary and a supplementary health plan.
Primary Health Coverage:
- Domestic students from another Canadian province / territory - contact your plan administration office to advise you will be studying in Ontario.
- Domestic students who have yet to establish coverage in a provincial / territorial health plan, should review: www.ontario.ca/ohip to review eligibility for the provincial plan called OHIP. If you are without coverage during the standard OHIP waiting period, you can apply for short-term UHIP coverage by request to uhip@queensu.ca
- International students - are automatically enroled in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP). Watch your Queen's email for the message UHIP - Action Required or visit: QUIC.queensu.ca where you can access proof of coverage, add dependents or learn more.
- See the Health Care Road Map for 2020-21 OHIP/UHIP information.
Supplemental Health Coverage:
Your student government office provides a second level of insurance coverage for health costs not covered by a primary health plan.
- Undergraduate students - plan provided through the Alma Mater Society (AMS) (see: https://myams.org/)
- Graduate and professional students - plan provided through the Society of Graduate and Professional Students (SGPS) (see: https://sgps.ca/ )
- See the Health Care Road Map for 2020-21 AMS/SGPS information.
Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations are strongly encouraged to register with Queen’s Student Accessibility Services (QSAS).
Students are required to submit documentation that verifies they are a student with a disability and describes how their disability impacts them in school. More information about our disability documentation requirements can be found at: http://www.queensu.ca/studentwellness/accessibility-services/information-students/documentation-requirements
Students can begin the registration process online. Alternatively, they can submit their documentation in one of several secure ways. More information can be found on our website.
Once their disability documentation has been reviewed, QSAS will contact students to book a confidential, personal appointment with an Accessibility Advisor. Together with the student, advisors develop a support plan that may include accommodations, referrals to on-campus services, and other supports as needed.
Students are encouraged to contact QSAS if they have any questions about their eligibility for services, how to register, or to book an advising appointment.
