A:  Campus Health (located in the Highland Commons building near 6th St. and Highland Ave.) has many options available for contraceptive services and education:

1.  Students can make an appointment to see a nurse practitioner or gynecologist at the Women’s Health Clinic (on the lower level).  We recommend that you have a thorough gynecological exam, including a pap smear, prior to starting birth control.  Campus Health staff can prescribe and provide all of the following methods:  oral contraceptives (the "pill"), Depo-Provera, Norplant, diaphragm, and cervical cap.  Also, emergency contraception (the “morning after pill”) is available for women seeking care within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.  For an appointment, call 621-6512.

2.  The Campus Health Pharmacy also sells contraceptive foam and jelly, the female condom, and a variety of male condoms.  Prices are generally lower than off-campus pharmacies.  For more information, call (520) 621-6516.
