Request Free/Low-Cost Condoms
As part of our mission to promote healthy lifestyles on campus, The Longhorn Wellness Center offers the opportunity for all students to access discounted safer sex supplies and educational information. You can help support this endeavor by distributing condoms to residents or students at university events and programs, or by maintaining a condom supply to have on hand for social engagements. Find out more information about how it works and what it costs below.
How does it work?
Complete the online form to request wrapped external condoms. Individual UT students can request up to 25 condoms for no cost. Resident assistants, student organizations and UT units and departments can request up to 200 condoms at a discounted rate of $10 per 50 condoms. Information cards on safer sex topics and university resources can also be requested with your order.
Once you submit your form, a Longhorn Wellness staff member will reach out via email to confirm your request and set a time for pickup at our office. We are located on the first floor of the Student Services Building (SSB 101.6) and are open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please allow at least one week’s notice for all requests and bring your student ID for confirmation.
See below for more details. If you are looking for safer sex supplies other than external condoms (dental dams or internal condoms), or if the cost of your order is a barrier your group, please email longhornwellnesscenter@austin.utexas.edu.
