Can I get my birth control at Student Health?

Sexual & Reproductive Health Statement

Marquette University Student Health Service providers are very sensitive to the issues of students surrounding sexual and reproductive health. Students are encouraged to discuss their needs, questions, and concerns within the context of an appointment. All conversations are held in the strictest of confidence. Bound by medical ethics, within the context of college health and Catholic tradition regarding human sexuality and birth control, students receive sound medical advice regarding sexual and reproductive health in order to make their own informed decisions regarding healthy relationships. Students interested in extended conversations or clarifications on sexuality and Catholic teaching are encouraged to contact Campus Ministry staff.

Does Student Health provide pharmacy services?

Does Student Health provide dental services?

At this time, we do not provide on-site dental services at Student Health Service. However, our medical providers are happy to provide referrals to appropriate facilities in the community.

In addition, Marquette University's School of Dentistry houses both a Dental Clinic and a Faculty Practice that are open to the public.

The Dental Clinic provides a full range of dental services for adults (age 13 and older) by pre-doctoral dental students under the supervision of faculty members, who are licensed dentists and hygienists. For more information about the Dental Clinic, visit the Dental Clinic's website, or call (414) 288-6790.

The Faculty Practice is run by dentists who hold full-time teaching positions at the Marquette University School of Dentistry. In contrast to an appointment at the Dental Clinic, where treatment may take an extended period of time because patients are cared for by dental students, patients at the Faculty Practice can expect an experience similar to what one might find in a private dental office. The Faculty Practice also sees patients of all ages. For more information about the Faculty Practice, visit the Faculty Practice's website or call (414) 288-0788.
