The Marine Institute Students' Union (MISU) provides the students of the Marine Institute with an extended Health and Dental Insurance Plan. The students covered under this insurance plan must be completing a Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Bridge watch, Firefighters, Marine Diesel, or various Transport Canada courses at the Marine Institute (MI) for a period of 12 weeks or more. Those students who are not attending MI for more then 12 weeks can choose to opt-in to the Health and Dental Plan upon request when registering and by filling out a form at the MISU office

As a student of MI, you are automatically enrolled into the Health and Dental Plan. If you have alternate extended coverage with another organization you may choose to opt-out of the MISU Health and Dental Plan. You can opt-out online at http://www.studentplans.ca by visiting the MISU office. This service will be available during the first two weeks of classes in September and January. You may also choose to opt-in members(s) of your family (spouse, common-law, dependents) and these forms may be obtained at the MISU office.

The plan includes, but is not limited to, curative prescription drugs, contraceptive drugs, dental treatments, and accidental death and dismemberment benefits.
