International Student Interim & Repatriation Insurance

Interim Health Insurance – $124.00 per semester
All new and returning international students are charged for the Interim Health Insurance in lieu of Alberta Health Care. The Interim Health Insurance is valid for 90 days from the first day of the month in which you commence your studies at Red Deer Polytechnic.
Note: It is the student’s responsibility to get their Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) within 90 days and maintain an active AHCIP while studying in Alberta.
The Interim Health Insurance is fully refundable for international students once they have Alberta Health Care coverage. To opt-out, complete the International Student Medical Plan Opt-Out Form and provide proof of Alberta Health Care by the 15th day of your first month of attending Red Deer Polytechnic.
Once your opt-out is approved and processed, you will see a credit on your RDP Tuition Fee Statement.
