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
