I think the dental and health plan you can opt out of ... at least it'll be easier than the rest. http://www.ihaveaplan.ca/rte/en/Simo...verage_OptOuts

They're all optional. No one is making you go to school.

if you have your own health / dental through your parents (or through your job) then you should be able to opt out.

to be absolutely clear, all the fees that you have listed are mandatory except:
dental
health
u-pass
those three you can opt out of. however i've heard that the u-pass one is almost impossible to opt out of unless you're a family of someone who works for transit.

You basically need to be psychologically incapable of taking public transit before they opt you out of it.

paying for U-Pass is fucking stupid. i don't even bus to school or use the bus/skytrains at all. i even supported some dude's petition to get rid of u-pass. i looked at his list and damn it was like 10 pages.

I like the U-pass... 
The dental/health plan is fucking BS though. I hate how you have to pay for that garbage FIRST before you can opt out.

When you opt out and show proof of coverage, does the proof have to show your name on it? I submitted a photo of one of my parent's dental coverage cards but it only has my mom's name...I am covered by her employer for dental.
I really don't want to pay the health and dental plan fees and this opt-out is really confusing me.
Any information will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Buying in bulk is cheaper than buying small packs.

im gonna try and find out why its more expensive at langara. | in addition to CRS about less people = costs more, i believe that the upass program is also subsidized by parking costs on campus
