Eligible students may receive one dose of My Way (Levonorgestrel 1.5mg) for free per semester, then $15 for each dose thereafter. Brand name Plan B is available for purchase at $30 per dose. University of Illinois students who have not paid the Health Service Fee may obtain My Way for $15 or Plan B One-Step for $30 for each dose. Supply limits may apply. The sooner emergency contraception is taken the more effective it is. You may want to refer to the handout, Plan B Emergency Contraception (Morning After Pills) for additional information.
