Okanagan College Students’ Union
Local 1 of the British Columbia Federation of Students
OCSU is the membership organization of over 8000 students at Okanagan College across the Kelowna, Penticton, and Salmon Arm campuses. We provide students with advocacy, services, campaigns, and events year round. We work hard to ensure students’ voices are heard and we strive to support students in the best means possible while achieving their educational goals.
We respectfully acknowledge that our places of work are on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Syilx/Okanagan people & Secwepemc Shuswap people.

Where is my health and dental?
OCSU is aware of an ongoing fee assessment issue on the backend of Okanagan College’s registration process that is resulting in some students who are eligible for the plan to not be billed for it. In other words, these students aren’t receiving the coverage they are eligible for.
The best way to know if you have been billed for the plan is to check your tuition fee statement. The easiest way to do this is to log in to your myOkanagan account.
If you were not billed for the plan, but you meet our plan eligibility criteria, please email registrar@ocsu.ca.
