How do I get my prescription during university holidays?

The UNI Pharmacy is closed during the university holidays! Please plan ahead for your refills.


You have 3 options for your refills.

  • You may stop in the pharmacy the week before the holiday to get your refill. 

    • *Please note: If you use insurance for your prescription, your insurance may not pay for it if they determine it is too early to fill.  In this case, we may be able to fill the prescription without using your insurance.
  • You may transfer the prescription to another pharmacy. Please contact the pharmacy where you want the prescription filled and they will call us to transfer it. You need to call them before the holiday.  We cannot transfer the prescription once we are closed.

  • You may ask your physician for a prescription to take with you to another pharmacy during the holiday. Once we are closed for the holiday, you should contact your local pharmacy or physician for further assistance. 

Thank you!
