Emergency Contraception (EC) is a method of birth control which can be used up to 3-5 days after intercourse (depending on the brand) to decrease the chance of pregnancy.

On-campus, EC is available through Counseling and Health Services during short medical appointments (in person or virtual) or through the Gender, Sex, & Sexuality Resource Center (GSSRC). EC is also available at major pharmacies.

There are two forms of EC available on-campus:

• Levonorgestrel:
  • Also called Plan B or EContra
  • Available without a prescription
  • Most effective up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex and most effective in people who weigh up to 165 pounds
  • Can be obtained from Health Services and GSSRC
• Ulipristal:
  • Also called Ella
  • Requires prescription
  • Can be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex and most effective in people who weigh up to 195 pounds
  • Can ONLY be obtained from Health Services because it requires a prescription
• To make an appointment with Health Services, log into the Health Services portal
