I'm going away for the summer (holidays, semester, etc). How can I be sure to have enough medication?
Typically, you can get enough medication to get you through the time you will be gone. If the cost is too high at one time, we can always transfer your prescription to your hometown pharmacy for the summer and transfer back any remaining refills in the Fall.

Can my roommate (friend, family member, etc.) pick up my prescription for me?
Yes, however, you must fill out a Prescription Release Authorization at the Pharmacy to be kept on file.

How do I purchase over-the-counter items, like aspirin or band-aids?
These items can be purchased by bringing them to the cashier/check-out counter near the pharmacy. If there is a specific item you would like, please ask the pharmacist to order it for you.

What services are available for Georgia Tech staff and faculty members?
