Medications
Via its onside dispensing system, the Student Health Center can provide limited prescription medication and refill services when a provider is on duty. Applicable copays and deductibles will apply. Certain over-the-counter medications are also available for purchase.
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 through a special arrangement with Optum and The Medicine Shoppe.

1. If your Rx is with Optum and filled by The Medicine Shoppe call: 719-471-3600
