If you find yourself in need, stop by our office (1-114, SCFL) during our open office hours (find those here) and we will walk you through the process, which can take up to about 20 minutes.

Students who qualify (once per term), then shop from our food pantry as well as receive a gift card for perishable items at an external grocery store.

We also have a referral process with other organizations for additional support.

Our Health & Dental Plan is here to ensure you have coverage while you study so you never have to choose between school and your health. This plan was approved by student referendum. For more information and to learn more about the fees, visit the Health & Dental page.

Each year we support NorQuest students and their children during the holiday season. Through the Helping Hands Campaign, students in need can register to receive gifts for themselves and their children. With fantastic support from staff, faculty as well as other students, gifts are then purchased and donated to those students.

FAQs

Am I on the SANQC Legal Care Program? 

Eligible students are automatically enrolled in the SANQC Legal Care Program. If you see these charges on your account, you are eligible and on the plan.

When does my coverage start?

Your coverage will start on the first day of the month in which your program begins. You have 14 days from the official start date of your program to opt-out of the Legal Care Program. This may be different from your first day of classes if you registered after the course began. In such cases, visit the SANQC Office (1-114, SCFL) to confirm your opt-out deadline. Students will have 12 months of coverage from when it begins.

So, if your first day of classes is September 2nd, your coverage would begin on September 1st and continue to August 31st of the following year. If your first day of classes is October 20th, your coverage would begin on October 1st and end on September 30th of the following year.

I’m a funded student, are these fees covered by my funding?

Typically these fees are not covered through funding. It is very important for you to pay for these fees yourself or to opt-out of these charges before your deadline.

When is the opt-out window for the SANQC Legal Care Program?

The deadline to complete your opt-out is 14 days from the start date of your classes during the term in which the fee was applied to your account. If you have been assessed the Legal Care Program fee during the current term and the deadline has not passed, you can fill out the opt-out form HERE.
