Prescription medication may be purchased at the Student Health Center (SHC) Pharmacy, which is licensed by the State of California and adheres to all applicable State codes and regulations. Prescriptions from outside physicians can be filled if the medication is stocked by the Pharmacy. Some non-prescription over-the-counter medications are also available. The cost of items purchased at the Pharmacy is at a reduced rate. Students who purchase the supplemental health insurance or have a private insurance may submit prescription receipts to their insurance for reimbursement. The pharmacy does not accept any insurance plans or submit claims. Students may take prescriptions written by SHC clinicians to outside pharmacies for filling if desired.
