Students in need of a secure means to store prescription medication while living on campus may request a locking prescription pill bottle from the Campus Safety Office (Rincker 023) or Student Health Center (Albrecht 113).
These locking prescription bottles allow the student to choose a four-digit combination for the bottle cover. Once the combination is set, you can then insert your original prescription bottle into the locking bottle to keep your medication safe.
Students experiencing a mental health crisis that do not feel safe being left with their prescription medication can come to the Campus Safety Office and drop the medication in a locking storage box. The Student Health Center nurse manager is the only person on campus who can retrieve the medication once deposited in the lock box. Students utilizing the medication drop box should keep the prescribed dose of their mediations for no more than 48 hours. If they haven’t been already, students will be connected to the Student Wellness office to schedule an appointment with a counselor or to see a provider in the Health Center. After meeting with a provider and when the student is no longer in crisis, the Health Center manager can return the medication to the student.
