Corrections
Oct. 5, 2011In Wednesday's edition of the Alligator, an article incorrectly stated that students with private insurance or student insurance through the university are not eligible to use the CVS Caremark prescription discount card at the UF Student Health Care Center Pharmacy.

Insured students may only use the card to obtain discounts on prescriptions not covered by private or university-sponsored insurance.
