Orientation Handouts

1. Attention all International Students (both TSSU members and not)!

SFU has a new mandatory health care plan that you are automatically enrolled in. It is supposed to be a substitute for BC's Medical Service Plan until you can enroll after 3 months. Everyone MUST opt-out to not be charged AGAIN for $353 this spring semester (and all semesters in the future), if you are a TSSU member you get some of your money back.

Here is our brochure that we've been passing out during orientations this week: View PDF here
