- arrange for medical insurance coverage through a plan in your home country which provides adequately for hospitalization and prescription drugs
- obtain medical insurance on arrival at the university. You can buy coverage from an agent who will be available in the University Centre Building for the first two weeks of each term
BC Medical Insurance forms are available at the Ministry of Health Services, Medical Service Plan website. Please apply as soon as possible upon arrival.
