Loyalist College’s COVID-19 Readiness Plan
As Loyalist College was required to sign an Attestation with the Public Health Agency agreeing to take responsibility for the incoming students’ quarantine, all students (new and returning) at both campus locations MUST follow the Loyalist College plan and process for traveling to Canada. Students are NOT able to quarantine on their own by making their own arrangements. Students who fail to arrange the total 14-day quarantine will not be able to register at either Loyalist College campus.

Health Insurance
Medical care in Canada is very expensive. Each registered student has mandatory health insurance as part of the tuition payment with Guard.me. Any student who arrives prior to the effective date will have a daily insurance package added to the cost of the quarantine package. The daily cost is $1.65 and will be charged from the date the student arrives in Canada until the effective date of their policy.
Please note: The mandatory annual Guard.me policy does not cover pre-existing conditions, so please plan accordingly before travelling to Canada if you have a pre-existing condition that you need to manage.
