Important Fact: AMS/GSS Extended Health & Dental Plan

I think many students in UBC are not fully utilizing the health and Dental Plan that they are paying for. So I wish to inform all about the plan.

The AMS/GSS Health & Dental Plan was designed by students for students to provide many important services and cover expenses not covered by your basic health care plan, such as prescription drugs, dental care, travel health coverage, vision care, and more.

Happy Long Weekend! Happy Family Day!
