Single Person Rate for 12 months September to August 2005 is $532.85. For detailed information relating to this plan contact Brock's Health Services. Residents of Quebec may be eligible for OHIP coverage and should inquire at Health Services for details.  
Health Insurance Fee (BUSU): Go to top of document
As a result of the referendum in Spring 2001, the Brock University Students' Union (BUSU) is now offering an extended Health Plan to all students who are enrolled in the equivalent of 3 or more full credits in September and are contributing to BUSU fees. This program is mandatory and provides coverage for 80% of prescription drugs and a variety of other physio and chiropractic programs. Details of the Health Plan can be found on the BUSU website (http://www.busu.net) or at the Health Plan office located in the Students' Center. The fee for the plan is $115 (subject to change). Students that already have comparable coverage will have the opportunity to waive this fee (details of this process are available on-line as well). It is each student's responsibility to determine their status with regards to the BUSU extended Health Care Plan; be sure to make an informed decision. Universal Transit Pass Fee (U-PASS) $120.00 As a result of a referendum in the spring of 2003, all undergraduate students taking 1.5 or more credits will be charged the Universal Transit Pass fee.
