UNIVERSITY HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN (UHIP) FOR
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND OTHER NON-RESIDENTS
University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) is a compulsory health
insurance plan covering international students and other non-resident
students studying at York. Two examples of non-resident students are
students who are part of an official exchange agreement between York
and another international university, and, students who have received
permanent resident status in Canada, but are still in the Ontario Health
Insurance Plan (OHIP) waiting period.
If you are an international student or a non-resident student, a UHIP
premium charge will be added to your York student account
automatically each session, after you register in the session. You must
then go to York International to enrol yourself in the plan and receive
your proof of coverage card, which verifies that you are covered by
UHIP. You must renew this enrolment each session. UHIP participation
is mandatory and you will be charged the premium even if you already
have other health insurance.
UHIP health coverage can include eligible family members. To avoid a
$500 late fee, you must enrol your family in the plan within 30 days of
their arrival in Canada, and you must renew their enrolment within 30
days of the previous coverage expiring. For more details, contact
information, and hours of operation, visit the York International Web
site at http://international.yorku.ca/uhip/index.htm.
