SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS PLAN

PLAN ACTIVATION AND REGISTRATION

Plan Activation

The first 6 weeks of the fall semester intake, the first 6 weeks of the winter semester intake or during the first 6 weeks of the summer semester intake, this is known as the “blackout period”.

This means that until the opt-in, opt out and add/drop deadlines have passed, no full-time graduate student will be activated for Green Shield during this period, until GSS obtains a master list from the Registrar’s office and Green Shield (for the opt-out list) before being able to activate any graduate students.

How Registraton Works

Once you are activated for the Green Shield benefits plan through the GSS, you will receive an email with instructions. Then, follow these steps:

Read the welcome email very carefully and follow all steps to register your profile on the Green Shield Canada website.
Download the Green Shield phone app to submit claims from a mobile device.
Alternatively, you can submit claims through the portal website, by attaching scans of invoices and documents.
