All new full-time International students are required to purchase health insurance in Canada to be considered to have adequate coverage for Canadian medical services. This insurance must be purchased immediately upon arriving at NSCAD and before classes begin. No exemptions will be considered. In applying to and submitting a commitment fee to the University, International students agree to this requirement. Students who purchase only a semester plan (4 months) will not be permitted to register for the next (i.e. Winter) semester without purchasing further health coverage for the upcoming semester. Improved coverage is provided through purchase of the annual (12 month) plan, which covers a student until August 31, whether or not the student is registered at NSCAD. This coverage may not be used in the student’s home country.
| Term | Single | Family |
| 12 months | $650.00 | $1595.00 |
| 4 months | $236.00 | $580.00 |
