Health/Dental

To help University of Regina students pay for the health services they need, URSU has partnered with StudentCare in order to provide students with extended health and dental coverage. The Plan is designed specifically to fill the gaps in provincial health care (Saskatchewan Health) and other basic health-care programs. Unless an international student opts out of this program, registration is mandatory (included in tuition) and can include family members at an additional cost.

Counselling Services

We offer personal counselling for students experiencing problems, group counselling for students interested in improving study habits or working through personal issues in a group setting, and emergency counselling for individuals who suddenly find themselves in crisis.
