Some allergy medications are included in the health fee. Generic Claritin is free once per semester, after the initial free round of medication, a fee will be incurred. Also prescription Allegra and Zyrtec are provided. We allow 14 tablets free per semester for each of these items. If used more than once per semester, a fee will be incurred.
