About Us

More then a name - A promise to students

Alumo is Canada's leading provider of student health, dental, and wellness solutions — serving over 1.5M students at more than 150 post-secondary institutions and student associations across the country.

Beyond health and dental coverage, we offer mental health support, virtual health care, legal assistance, and other wellness resources built around real student needs. Alumo brings together three organizations with over 30 years of combined experience serving students — ACL, Gallivan, and ASEQ | Studentcare — now united under one name, chosen for what it means: "lumo," Latin for light, paired with "alumni," a nod to the student journey we've supported for decades.

Get to know us

ACL, Gallivan, and ASEQ | Studentcare each spent decades building trusted student health and dental plans on their own. Starting in Fall 2025, we began combining our strengths, resources, and expertise under one name. As of September 1, 2026, we no longer operate under our individual legacy brands — just Alumo, one team with a deeper bench of experience behind every plan.

We work directly with your student union, association, or institution to design and manage your coverage — from plan structure to claims to finding a provider nearby. We're not an insurance company you sign up with on your own; we're the team your school partners with to make sure your plan actually works for you, and we keep building new tools (like our Alumo Benefits App, available at select partner schools) as student needs evolve.

Alumo partners with schools and student associations in 9 provinces, coast to coast — from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador. Wherever you're studying, there's a good chance we're already there.

Your plan comes with access to over 3,000 healthcare professionals who won't charge you full price — from dentists to therapists to specialists. It's one of the largest professional networks built specifically for students in Canada.

Coverage is only part of the picture. Alumo is built on three principles: Simple — coverage that's easy to understand and use, no fine print scavenger hunts. Empowering — giving you and your school the tools to make confident decisions about your health and future. Reliable — showing up consistently, so you always know what you're covered for.
