Important information for graduating students from Health & Wellness

April 16, 2024

Dear Student/Patient,

It has been a great pleasure providing for your health care needs.

As you are aware, the University of Toronto Health & Wellness Centre provides services for current University of Toronto undergraduate and graduate students who have paid the appropriate incidental fees for the school year. Eligible students can access our services from September 1 to August 31 of the following academic year.

If you are 1) graduating this summer or fall, 2) leaving the University or 3) not planning to register at the University in September 2024, please inform your current care provider as soon as possible so we can work with you to plan for a smooth transition of care. You will still be able to access our services (short-term care) until August 31, 2024.

We encourage you to consider the following:

Find a family doctor to continue your care. Each province has resources online to help you find one. For example,

Update your contact information in our electronic medical record (EMR) system.

Your new care provider can request your medical records on your behalf with your consent. Please refer to the Authorization of release of medical information form (PDF) for detailed instructions on how to request your medical record.

If you are an international student with a UHIP plan, your UHIP will typically expire on August 31, 2024. If you need to extend UHIP beyond August 31, you must contact the UHIP office at least a month before your current UHIP expires. To confirm, you should sign into your UHIP account. You may want to contact the UHIP office to explore your health insurance options. You can find information on the Centre for International Experience’s UHIP page.

Please feel free to discuss your needs with your care provider.

Sincerely,

Health & Wellness Centre, University of Toronto (St. George)
