Birth Control (Contraception)
“Contraceptive” is another name for birth control. There are a variety of birth control options available. Student Health Services providers can discuss contraceptive options and provide information about sexual health. Call 703-993-2831 to schedule an appointment to discuss your options.
Student Health Services can write prescriptions for all oral contraceptives (birth control pills), NuvaRing, Seasonale, Ortho Evra Patch, barrier methods, and Depo-Provera. Most prescriptions can be filled at a local pharmacy. Emergency Contraception is available at Student Health Clinics for a fee.
Referrals can be given for students seeking the hormonal implant, IUD’s, and barrier method fittings.
Individual Mason students can pick up FREE external (male) condoms, dental dams, and lubrication from the sexual health dispenser in the SUB 1 Patriots Lounge during building hours. The dispenser is on the wall between the restrooms in Patriot Lounge. Another dispenser is in the Johnson Center, 1st floor, on the wall by blue lockers near the entrance on the east side. RAs & RSOs should submit the Safer Sex Condom Request Form for residence halls and events.
Menstrual products are also available in the sexual health dispensers.
