Included on this year's TCSA Elections ballot is a question related to the accessibility of the Trent Student Health and Dental Benefits Plan. If successful, this important question will allow comprehensive Student Benefits to reach every student at Trent more easily.

When TCSA members register in fewer than 1.5 credits for the first semester of their academic term they are not automatically enrolled on the Trent Student Health and Dental Benefits Plan. In some cases, this disadvantages students registered with Student Accessibility Services who retain full-time student status but do not become automatically registered for the student benefits plan. To ensure ease of access to the benefits plan the Association is proposing lowering automatic enrolment for the benefits plan to a 0.5 credit threshold for TCSA members. This change will not impact anyone who wishes to opt-out of the benefits plan offered by the Association. This year's ballot will ask if you support this change.

Please see your Trent email account to vote. Ballots are being emailed directly to students for safety and convenience. Remember to vote before 4pm on Thursday, March 18th! In order for this question to be successful we require a minimum of 15% of the student population to cast a vote. If you have not yet voted please help us reach this threshold by casting your ballot.
