UHIP

Service Summary

UHIP is a basic medical health care insurance that is mandatory for non-resident students (including exchange) or registered students with domestic status who are not yet eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). The plan provides medical coverage comparable to OHIP for Ontario residents. UHIP provides insurance to help pay the cost of the hospital and medical services that students or employees and their families might need to maintain their health while in Canada.

For information about the supplemental health insurance plans, including eligibility and enrolment deadlines, undergraduates should consult the Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) and graduate students should refer to the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA).
