NBCCD SA Health & Dental Plan The NBCCD Student Association (SA) Health and Dental Plan provides extended health and dental coverage for all full-time students under the age of 65. Students must be covered under a health and dental plan while attending the College.
The NBCCCD SA health and dental plans are effective from September 1 to August 31 of each year.

Opting out
If students are covered under a different plan (eg a parent’s or spouses employee plan), they will be required to opt out of the NBCCDSA plan and provide adequate proof of coverage to studentbenefits.ca by the opt out deadline of September 19. If students do not opt out, they will receive coverage through the NBCCDSA (Campus Trust) and will be charged fees. Students may opt out of the health coverage, the dental coverage, or the plan in its entirety during the opt out period.
The opt out date of September 19 is strictly enforced.
For more information please contact Campus Trust at: 1(800) 563-1930

Students with Disabilities NBCCD is committed to providing an inclusive environment for all students. Effort is made to provide students with documented proof of disability equitable access to programs, facilities and services in a timely manner. NBCCD’s Disability Services team includes the College Counsellor and Learning Strategist. They work collaboratively with students and faculty to ensure implementation of proper accommodations that provide necessary support, preserve academic integrity, and safeguard student privacy.
New students requiring accessibility services should identify their needs to the College Counsellor upon confirmation of admission. Early intervention is critical in providing a barrier-free learning environment and supporting student success.
Current students with disabilities who have not self-identified are encouraged to contact the College Counsellor or their Academic Advisor at their earliest convenience.
The Disability Services team can also provide guidance regarding various benefits available to students with disabilities, and can assist in applying for programs available through Student Financial Assistance.
