Insurance Coverage

Athletes from outside of Canada who have not established their eligibility under the Hospitalization and Medical Care Acts should arrange through the University for Insurance Coverage to be effective throughout the waiting period (3 months). More information can be obtained at
www.uregina.ca/gencal/ugcal/servicesForStudents/ugcal_124.shtml under 8.4.10.2 - "Health & Accident Insurance."
Student Health & Dental Plan: Cougar Athletics requires athletes to carry additional insurance beyond their provincial health care plan. The University of Regina Students’ Union (URSU) sponsors a Health and Dental plan. All undergraduate and graduate students who are URSU members and who are taking 9 or more on-campus Fall credit hours are automatically enrolled in the Plan. Athletes who already have equivalent coverage may opt-out in order to avoid being charged the mandatory fee as long as they give proof of alternative coverage. This may include BlueCross, Group Medical Services or another company provided by parents or spousal employers. The amount of coverage is dependent on the individual plan. Some plans are dependent on age and marital status and may change without notification. For complete details, go to
