This plan can be stacked with the student extended health plan. You can enroll in this plan by filling out the form of the Enrollment Application for Group Benefits and submitting it to benefits@sfu.ca. Download the form to opt-in HERE (2023).
If you want SFU to cover your MSP/ISHF and the MSP/ISHF for your spouse/partner and all dependent children, the form you want on the Human Resources Website is "Group Medical Services Plan (MSP) Application."

Please note that stipend requests are due by the 1st Monday after the beginning of classes in the semester following the semester the application is being made! (i.e. a request for the Fall 2021 semester is due the first Monday after classes begin in the Spring 2022 semester -- this is usually the second or third Monday of the month.) Extraordinary circumstances may be taken into account.
Use either of these forms for approved expenses (e.g. approved union-related travel, approved purchase of materials for events).
Once you submit, a copy of the form is automatically emailed to you and the TSSU Coordinator. Please make sure you have proof of approved expenses (i.e. receipts) and the minutes from the meeting where the expenses were approved. If you are uncertain which meeting it was approved, please contact the chair/commissioner of the Committee in question.
Please DO NOT use this form to request committee stipends - for this purpose, see 'Stipend Request Forms', above.
