I am an international student


As an international student, you make the same type of appointment that a Canadian student would make.

If you are unsure where to go for medical assistance, please call or visit Health Services first. We can assess your need and redirect, if necessary, to other health-care providers.

Please note that Emergency Room visits are for emergency care (time sensitive/life-threatening). If you arrive at the Emergency Department for assistance and and you do not require emergency care, you may have a very long wait time before being assessed.   

 

 

Physician appointment information 

  • A campus physician is available by appointment on Monday mornings from 8:30am–12:30pm
  • Physician appointments can be booked by contacting Health Services

All physician appointments require a 24-hour cancellation notice. If we are not notified, you will be charged $40 to your student account. Please be considerate of others who require appointments. Missed appointments for psychiatry and psychological services will result in a $150 charge.

What should I bring to my Health Services physician appointment?

  • a valid student ID card
  • a valid provincial health card or alternate health care coverage information
  • international students must complete a health insurance form during their first visit (those with DSU health insurance coverage will be direct billed/those with alternate insurance will be charged $35 per visit). Please be aware ahead of your visit what insurance coverage you have while here in Canada.
