Toiletries
There is a limited amount of personal toiletry items available for purchase in the Bookstore on campus. All personal toiletries brought to The Claudia Black Center must be in their original containers. Non-alcoholic mouthwash is allowed. While emery boards are preferred, nail files or small clippers are permitted but must be stored in the nurse’s office and checked out at appropriate times. Patients may bring their own electric/battery-operated razors. Disposable or safety razors are permitted with psychiatrist approval but will be held by the Medical Services’ staff when not in use.

Please bring personal stationery, an address book, stamps, pens, and notebooks. It is also recommended to bring a credit card and/or debit card and a small amount of cash ($200 or less) for miscellaneous purchases.
