Medical Insurance

Current Students

If I get sick, will I continue to be covered by guard.me@SFU primary medical insurance?

If your policy is valid, you are covered for all new and emergent conditions and medically necessary treatment, including COVID-19.  You can confirm the dates of your coverage on your guard.me ID Card, if you are currently covered by guard.me@SFU plan. More information about guard.me@SFU can be found on the guard.me@SFU website.

Please be reminded that the guard.me@SFU plan is provided only for your first term at SFU. Note that all British Columbia residents (including study permit holders) are required to enroll with the British Columbia Medical Services Plan (BC MSP), BC’s provincial primary medical insurance plan.  If you have not yet applied for BC MSP, please visit the MSP website to apply.
