Client FAQ

As a client visiting the campus, what health and safety protocols must I follow?Georgian College Chevron

What is my role as a client?Georgian College Chevron

As a client, we ask that you support our clinic philosophy:

Students need time to develop their clinical skills. Missed appointments and last-minute cancellations affect the success of students who are trying to meet their learning requirements. Therefore, we ask that you make the commitment of time and patience.

For more information, review our Client Code of Conduct.

Can I submit an insurance claim?Georgian College Chevron

As our students are not yet licensed health-care professionals, many of our clients have been unsuccessful in having their claims reimbursed. We suggest that you contact your insurance provider before booking an appointment to determine your eligibility.

An exceptions to this rule is the Harmonize for Speech, Hearing and Language Clinic. Denturism services do qualify for Ontario Works Claims in some regions including Simcoe County. Please ask for further information when booking an appointment.

Am I allowed to bring food and drinks inside the clinic?Georgian College Chevron

In accordance with Health and Safety, food and drinks are not permitted inside the clinics.

What is your policy on electronic devices in the clinic?Georgian College Chevron

In accordance with our privacy regulations and to ensure client confidentiality, the use of cell phones or any type of electronic or recording devices is strictly prohibited inside the clinic space. You are asked to turn off and store all electronic devices while inside the clinic. Stored electronics should be turned off or set on mute in consideration of others.

What are my payment options?Georgian College Chevron

We accept the following payment methods:

  • Debit
  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • Georgian OneCard – Available in some clinics

Please note, cash will no longer be accepted due to the COVID-19 pandemic

What is the cancellation policy?Georgian College Chevron

During to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to suspend our cancellation policy. We ask that out of respect for student learning, you make every effort to attend your appointment unless you are ill. When clients do not come to appointments, the result is that our students do not have the ability to practise their skills and show that they have met their learning outcomes. This puts their ability to be successful in their program at risk.

The Oral Health Clinic policy states that a minimum of 24-hour notice for appointment cancellations is required. Two or more missed appointments or short notice cancellations may result in dismissal from the clinic. We do completely understand and support if you need to miss your appointment due to illness.

Am I allowed to smoke on Georgian College property?Georgian College Chevron

Effective May 6, 2019, there will be no smoking on Georgian property. Find out more about a smoke-free Georgian College.
