Medication Self-Administer and Self-Carry Guidelines

With the exception of EPI-Pens, participants who need to take medication while attending the a CU Boulder Youth Program must either self-administer the medication or work with the CU Boulder Center for Disability and Access to obtain accommodations. If a participant is unable to self-administer medication, please have them or their guardian(s) or parent(s) contact the CU Boulder Center for Disability and Access.

Participants who are going to self-carry and self-administer medication during a CU Boulder Youth Program must only carry sufficient medication for a single day or the duration of the program. These daily doses should minimally be labeled with:

  • Participants Name
  • Name of the Drug
  • Dosage
  • Time for Administering
  • Name of the Medical Provider
  • Current Date

It is also recommended that they carry their written authorization from the provider to self-administer
