We accept all valid prescriptions from community physicians and the Student Health and Counseling Center staff, provided we stock the medications. If you have a special need, please call us to make sure we can obtain your medication. 

You can fill any prescription written by a Student Health and Counseling Center physician at an outside pharmacy, though we often offer lower prices than most community drug stores. Please note that prices are subject to change depending on availability.

Refills on existing prescriptions can be requested two ways: 

  • Requests can be made by calling the Pharmacy at 559.278.6720, or
  • You can send a request via your Student Health Portal

Contact the Pharmacy at least one business day before needing the medication to allow time to process your request. This will also minimize your wait time. 

If you have no refills, we will contact your provider to request a refill at his or her discretion. Filled prescriptions are left on the Pharmacy shelf for seven days. Prescriptions not picked up within seven days will be reprocessed. 

NEW! Let us know if you would like a text when your prescription is ready.  

Prescriptions belong to the pharmacy that fills them. However, they may be transferred via phone by the pharmacist. For example, if you are out of town and need a prescription transferred to that town, you must phone the pharmacy in that town, give them the name of the pharmacy, phone number, and name of the medication you want transferred and the filling pharmacy will call.

Once a prescription is transferred, it is then the property of the pharmacy it was transferred to. If you return to Fresno State after a prescription has been transferred, it must be transferred a second time to bring it back here. It can take a significant amount of time to complete these transactions. Please plan ahead. 

All medications incur a small fee that covers our costs. 

At this time we do not have the ability to bill your insurance, but we can give you a receipt for your insurance request for reimbursement. We accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard. We also accept the Family PACT card.

About our Wellness-to-Go Vending Machine

Located on the first floor of the Resnick Student Union, enrolled Fresno State students can access several over-the-counter medications, hygiene and harm-reduction products for free or at a low cost. 

In order to obtain the products, students will need to swipe their student ID cards and provide a four-digit pin number.*  Students are limited to two of each item per month, unless specified otherwise on the machine.  Narcan and Fentynal Test Strips are limited to one per day. 

Funding for the machine was provided by Anthem Blue Cross through the Central Valley Opioid Safety Coalition and in partnership with the Fresno Madera Medical Society.

Funding for the free harm-reduction and hygiene products has been made available through Associated Students Inc. and the Student Health and Counseling Center.

Prices and products are subject to change based on funding and availability. 

Only currently enrolled Fresno State students will have access to the products dispensed in this machine.*

All questions can be directed to the Student Health and Counseling Center at 559.278.2734.
