All SFU undergraduate students who are registered for 3 or more credits in September or January at Burnaby, Surrey, or Vancouver campuses are automatically enrolled when paying fees to SFU. This includes international students, exchange or study abroad students, and Co-op students on exchange, and co-op students, when paying fees to SFU. If you’re not sure of your coverage status, check your SFU student account, or contact studentcare.net/works.

Please note that students and their dependants are not covered for out-of-province or out-of-country emergency services once they reach age 65. For more details, contact studentcare.net/works.

Coverage for Your Spouse and Your Dependants
You can extend your coverage to your family (spouse and/or dependants) by enrolling them in the Plan and paying an additional fee, over and above your individual fee as a Plan member. Common law and same-sex couples are eligible. See the Couple & Family Enrolments section for details.
