The NVIT Student Society passed, via Referendum on February 26, 2014, a motion for NVIT students to participate (via partnership with the Camosun College Student Society), in a Student Health and Dental Insurance plan. The program is mandatory for all NVIT students at NVIT who are also:
· Enrolled in a program which delivers 60 contact hours within the first 7 weeks of study (as per course start and end dates); and
· Assessed the Student Society fees.
Students will be assessed an annual fee at the beginning of the program. Students receive 12 months coverage effective the 1st of the month when their program starts – if the program is longer than 2 years, either a 2 year fee is assessed the beginning or another annual fee is assessed along with a fee assessment mid-program.
Opt out options are available to students who are able to demonstrate they have alternate coverage. Student with existing coverage can coordinate their new benefits with existing plans.
Should learners opt to take courses delivered via Directed Studies and/or Prior Learning Assessment Recognition, and should those courses also meet all of the criteria above, then learners will be assessed the UPASS BC fees and Student Health and Dental fees on the registration for the directed studies and/or prior learning assessment recognition course(s).
Community Education Fees Courses will be offered for fees which are sufficient to cover all costs of delivery, including administrative overhead charges determined according to Board Policy.
Placement Tests Students may be required to take tests, which will help to determine skill levels and aid selection of courses appropriate to their educational backgrounds and abilities. Placement tests are also required for entrance in some courses and programs. Specific fees will be assessed based on the required tests.
