Save time and hassle by filling your prescriptions on campus at the University Health Center Pharmacy. We fill prescriptions from health center providers, community providers and providers from out of state.
Transferring prescriptions
If you are prescribed a new medication, tell your provider to send the script to us. To transfer current prescriptions to the health center, call us at 402.472.7457, and our team will take care of it. It's helpful to have the prescription bottle handy as the pharmacy team will ask you questions about the information on the label.
Refills
We recommend requesting refills 48 hours in advance if you do not have refills remaining. When you pick up your prescriptions, our pharmacy team will take the time to help you fully understand the medicine, including any side effects.
We offer worry-free automatic refills, and 90-day supplies are available for certain prescriptions. Certain prescriptions, such as birth control, are offered at a discounted rate.
Free mail order
Free mail order is available. Call the pharmacy at 402.472.7457 and request to have your prescription shipped directly to your home. Shipping takes approximately three to four business days. At this time, we can only ship within the state of Nebraska. Please note that 60- and 90-day supplies may be unavailable due to nationwide medication shortages.
Preferred name
We know how important it is to be called by the name you prefer. Your prescription labels can have your preferred name printed on them. If you call us to fill a prescription, let the pharmacy team member know your preferred name, and it will be on that label when you pick it up. If you let us know in person at the counter, your name will be entered and on the label for the next refill.

Ask The Pharmacist
Our pharmacy team’s goal is to ensure all students fully understand the medication they are prescribed. Here are questions to ask when filling prescriptions or buying over-the-counter items:
- How often should I take this medication?
- Will it interact with other medications I’m taking?
- Can I take this on an empty stomach or with food?
- What are the possible side effects?
- How should I store the medication?
- What do I do if I miss a dose?
Confidential and Private
Purchases are confidential and are not visible on your student account. Here are additional considerations to help you maintain your privacy:
- If you are submitting a charge to insurance, consider who may receive the explanation of benefits, such as a parent, guardian or partner
- A curbside pickup stall is available in our parking lot and can be used if you have symptoms or wish to avoid seeing others when picking up your purchase
