Obtaining Emergency Contraception (EC)
The “morning-after pill,” Levonorgestrel, is available as an emergency measure after unprotected intercourse. Plan B and EContra are FDA approved for over-the-counter dispensing for anyone and must be given within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Ella is a prescription medication used for those who are over 165lbs or within 5 days (120 hours) of unprotected intercourse.
Where to Get EC: EContra and Ella are available at Student Health Services. No appointment is required. For those who would prefer an IUD, the most effective form of emergency contraception when inserted up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse, SHS can provide a referral to a local provider.
Vending Machines: EContra is also available 24/7 at the Wellness Room in Walker Lounge, Pomona College. Pay with Claremont Cash.
Other Sources: You can log on to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for more information. Student Health Services information on available sexual health services can be found here - https://services.claremont.edu/student-health-services/sexual-health/
Student Advocates Groups
Advocates for Survivors of Sexual Assault provide confidential peer-to-peer support to survivors of sexual violence, dating/domestic violence, and stalking. They provide emotional support, connection to resources, and can aid in the reporting process as well. Advocates also seek to eliminate these forms of violence from our campuses through educational outreach programs. Advocates are available only when school is in session.

Other Sources of Support
There are many sources of support and information at the colleges, however, many individuals are “responsible employees.” Responsible employees are legally obligated to disclose what they learn about an incident of sexual assault, dating violence, stalking or sexual harassment to the Title IX Coordinator. On all the campuses, responsible employees include all dean of student staff, faculty, coaches, resident advisors, and senior administrative staff. If you are not sure if you want to pursue action, you may want to speak with a confidential support resource first. If you choose to speak with one of resources below, you have the option of limiting the details you share while you gather more information to help inform your decision. Making a report to a responsible employee does not mean that a grievance process will automatically move forward. Unless there is an ongoing threat to the reporting student or the Claremont Colleges community, a process will not move forward without the consent of the reporting student.
Title IX Coordinators
Title IX Coordinators are committed to eliminating and addressing sexual harassment and discrimination, partner violence, sexual assault and stalking by providing robust prevention and education programs, support services, reporting options and response systems.
They are also responsible for ensuring institutional compliance with federal laws and regulations, in particular, Title IX (to prevent discrimination based on sex, gender identity and/or expression), the Clery Act (to ensure disclosure of crime reporting and statistics), related state laws and a given college's policy and procedures pertinent to sexual misconduct, harassment and discrimination.
Please see the "What is Title IX?" section of this website for more information on each college's individual Title IX Coordinator and their contact information.
Deans of Students Staff
At the Claremont Colleges, the Dean of Students Office is the department within Student Affairs that oversees most aspects of a student's life outside of class, including Residential Life, New Student Programs, Student Activities, the discipline process, and coordination of the College's response to crisis situations involving students. As student advocates, the Dean of Students team provides a variety of services and extracurricular programs, as well as being available for one-on-one support and assistance.
