As an exchange student, you are considered a temporary resident (not a non-resident) and must be covered under the International Student Health Insurance (IHI).
-
Exchange students covered by private insurance OR their home university's health insurance plan are not exempt from the McGill's IHI plan.
- All exchange students are automatically charged a full-year rate for the International Health Insurance.
- Availability to access the IHI form to confirm your coverage is dependent on when your registration for classes becomes available on Minerva, which changes from one year to another.
- You must activate your health insurance coverage on Minerva as of August 1st (for Fall term admits) or December 1st (for Winter term admits).
- You can request your premium to be adjusted to one or two terms only after activating your coverage.
- Students who meet certain criteria may be eligible for an exemption. The criteria could be under Eligibility for Exemptions page.
- Exemption requests must be done on Minerva by specified deadlines.
- Exchange students are not eligible to opt-in to McGill's dental plan.
