Prescriptions
As a student you have multiple choices on how you can get your prescriptions.
Each student can make their choice of method for what best serves them depending on insurance, state of residence, and previous primary care.
NOTICE:
According to pharmacy regulations, prescription medications must be dispensed to patients directly from the location at which they were filled. Students may fill and pick up their prescriptions at a local pharmacy of their choice (such as Walgreens), or elect to have them filled and delivered directly to the Student Health Center or to the mail center through a special arrangement with The Medicine Shoppe.
