Birth Control Services

The Student Health Center offers birth control services and information. Female students may receive oral contraceptives through the health center and we now offer an injectable contraceptive. Some non-prescription contraceptives may be purchased at an outside pharmacy.

 

Emergency Contraceptive Pills (Plan B)

Following unprotected intercourse, go to the Student Health Center, another medical provider, or participating California pharmacy as soon as possible & within 72 hours. (Taking Plan B may help prevent pregnancy if taken up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse, but ASAP is more effective) Get more information at 1-888-NOT-2-LATE; or the Princeton website

Pregnancy Testing

This test is available for female students and is covered as part of the student health fee. Pregnancy testing is available by walk-in or appointment and does not require a visit with a provider.
