ASEQ | Studentcare presents new initiatives to support students during COVID-19 pandemic

MONTREAL, March 31, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic being felt across the world, ASEQ | Studentcare has put in place several measures in the last few weeks both to ensure the continuity of our services and to develop new initiatives to support the student community.

We transitioned all our team members to home workstations, while maintaining our level of service for members. Although most of our on-campus offices have been required to close, students can still reach us if they have questions about their Health and Dental Plan.

In addition, with the associated insurers, we quickly developed reference documents for students abroad to ensure that they are informed of the exclusions and restrictions of their travel insurance.

Initiatives established:

• In collaboration with the law firms we partner with in Ontario and Quebec, for the next four weeks we are offering a free legal consultation service to members of participating student associations, in order to respond to any legal concerns regarding the impacts of COVID-19;
• A new partnership with one of the leading company in telemedicine in Canada is being presented to student associations that may be interested to offer that service to their members;
• Our Student Assistance Program (SAP) partners are prepared to meet the demands of students in these difficult times.

ASEQ | Studentcare is dedicated to supporting the student community during these uncertain times. We are working hard to keep our members, our employees, and the communities in which we operate safe and healthy.

Please note that ASEQ | Studentcare service levels may be affected by the current situation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.
