The GSA and University community are mourning the loss of Bonnie Runge, our former Grad Lounge Manager (retired September 2020) who passed away on February 28, 2021. Bonnie served as the Grad Lounge Manager for a total of 24 years.
The GSA and CSA ran a joint referendum on the Student Health Plan in Winter 2021. The joint referendum failed to meet quorum and therefore the current universal plan remains in place.
REFERENDUM FAILED

The dental opt-out deadline for NEW Winter registrants is January 22, 2021. Please note, if you previously opted out of the dental plan, you must do so again this year. The one-time opt-out process of year's past will be available next year, AFTER data has been collected from this year's opt-out file.
Please note, the health plan is a mandatory universal plan; the dental plan offers an opt-out with proof of alternate coverage.
