​SCSU Health & Dental Plan
 
 
Lisa is a student who just enrolled in Sault College. On her arrival in Sault Ste. Marie, Lisa fell ill and decided to visit a walk-in clinic where she had to pay for her consultation session with the doctor. The doctor also prescribed some medications to her. At the end of her visit to the clinic, Lisa had spent about $200 dollars. Did she have to spend all that?
 
The answer is NO!
 
Why spend so much when SCSU has got you covered. We have a Health & Dental Plan designed to meet your needs with the student care program. Guess what! As a student, you are automatically enrolled to enjoy the student care insurance benefits.
