• Carleton University has also arranged for private insurance coverage for students who attend placement opportunities that are not covered under either the WSIB or the Ministry’s private insurance.

• Students are advised to maintain insurance for extended health care benefits through the CUSA/GSA Student Health & Dental Plan or other group or private personal insurance plan. (http://carleton.ca/health/insurance/)

Please be advised that in the event of a workplace injury or disease where a claim is being made,Carleton University will be required to disclose personal information relating to the unpaid work placement and any WSIB claim or claim made through the Ministry’s private insurer.
