Benefits

The University of Victoria is committed to the health and well-being of members of the UVic community. We've designed extensive benefit plans and policies to support you and your family.  

A full description of plans, eligibility requirements and current costs, contact Benefits, or the benefit handbook for regular faculty and librarians and the Collective Agreement.

• UVic provides benefits to same sex partners. A common-law partner is eligible for group benefits if they have been publicly represented as your spouse for at least one year. In the case of pension benefits, your partner must have been represented as your spouse for two years. Benefits may also be extended to dependent children.  
• Premiums are cost-shared with the employee or, in the case of certain plans, paid entirely by the university.
• Benefits are managed by the Human Resources office.
• Other perks for faculty and librarians include dual career couple employment assistance; housing loans and relocation grants, study leaves, Athletics membership, and a University Club membership for the first year of your appointment.
