3. The Computer Enhancement (Technology) Fee of $5.00 per course, up to a maximum of $25.00 per full-time student, will be applied directly to student access hardware to enhance Lakehead University computing facilities that are of direct benefit to students.

4. The Ancillary Fee for Co-op Programs will be half of the fee normally charged for full-time students, with one exception. Co-op students are not automatically covered under the LUSU Medical/Dental Insurance Plan; however, if this coverage is required, students must apply at the LUSU Office before the deadline date.

5. The LUSU Medical/Dental Insurance cost is $270.00. The policy is effective September 1, 2008 for the 12 months ending August 31, 2009. All full-time undergraduate students* who have registered in 4.0 or more FCEs for 2008FW (at any time during the registration period prior to September 18, 2008) will be charged this fee. This fee is mandatory and must be paid to the Accounts Office of Lakehead University.

Should students have comparable existing coverage and wish to waive the LUSU Medical/Dental Insurance, they must provide proof of coverage and return the necessary Opt Out Form to the LUSU Office (Room SC-0001) by September 18, 2008. There are no exceptions to this date. Payment to Lakehead University Accounts Office is still required. Non-payment of LUSU Medical/Dental Insurance does not mean the student has opted out or that the student is not covered under the policy.

The student will receive a reimbursement from the Insurer once the Opt-Out form has been remitted by LUSU.

The LUSU Medical/Dental Insurance plan can be a supplement to any existing medical plan. This plan is designed to reduce medical expenses.

For more information, students should go to the LUSU website at www.lusu.ca or contact LUSU directly by phone (807) 343-8259, fax (807) 343-8598, or e-mail pat.callaghan@lakeheadu.ca

* Co-op students and Graduate students are not covered but may purchase the Plan.
