Health and dental coverage

Great Plains College is proud to offer health and dental coverage to its full-time students. Students will pay an additional $252 in student fees for the extended coverage, which is student loan-eligible, but may opt out if they are already covered under a comparable health and dental plan.

The benefits stemmed from the results of a student referendum in November 2011. They are established through an agreement between Great Plains College, Saskatchewan Polytech and service provider Gallivan & Associates.

Coverage includes, but is not limited to:

  • prescription drugs
  • vision and dental care
  • massage, chiropractic and physiotherapy
  • ambulance services
  • medical equipment and supplies (crutches, wheelchair, walkers, braces, etc.)
  • travel insurance
  • myWellness mental health and wellness program (access to support resources, an anonymous mental health assessment, online and group counselling, a crisis line and toolbox of helpful solutions to help students maintain good mental health and a positive and productive lifestyle while completing their studies.)
