Health Insurance

Basic health insurance covers medically-required services, such as visits to doctors, hospital stays and medical testing. Basic health insurance is legally required for all re­sidents of BC, including international students, and is provided through the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP).

Emily Carr requires that all students have basic and extended health insurance for the duration of their studies.

Without proper insurance, you could have to pay thousands of dollars per day for a hospital stay. You could even be refused certain health services.
