Health Insurance
Clinic Payment
For service at the campus Health Centre:
- Canadian citizens must present a valid provincial health card.
- Eligible international students can print their Acadia Students' Union medical card at https://studentvip.ca. You can also download your card to your mobile phone so you always have it with you.
- Always keep your local address up-to-date at myAcadia Self Service
Paying with Other Coverage
Full-time Acadia University students are automatically enrolled in Health and Dental plans unless they opt-out of the coverage.
If you do not have a provincial health card and you have opted out of the student health plan, you will need to pay the doctor directly in cash. You will receive a receipt so that you can seek reimbursement from your private insurance provider.
Prescription Payment
Pharmacy cards for eligible Canadian and International students can also be printed at https://studentvip.ca
You will present this card at a pharmacy when you pick up your prescription. Your student insurance plan will help to significantly reduce the cost of most prescriptions.
