The York Federation of Students offers a very comprehensive student health and dental plan at a low cost to you. Most full-time undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in the plan, however students should always check their Student Account Statement to confirm enrollment before seeking undergoing treatments or purchasing services and medications.
If you have comparable insurance through your employment or your parents, you can coordinate your benefits or opt-out for a refund!
