CAPS Appointments

Enrolled students who have paid the Student Health fee are eligible to receive assistance from CAPS at no charge. Students are able to schedule intake appointments in which they receive an initial assessment of their presenting problems as well as recommendations for follow-up treatment and/or referrals.

When students' needs are more urgent and they cannot wait for an initial appointment, an on-call clinician is available to see students on a walk-in basis from 11:00am to 4:00pm, Monday through Thursday. If students walk in to CAPS with very acute needs at times outside the designated walk-in hours, professional staff will still be able to accommodate them.

Given the brief treatment approach utilized at CAPS, sometimes, students' requests for CAPS services sometimes exceed CAPS direct service capabilities. Therefore, when students requesting treatment also have adequate resources for private practice referrals, CAPS clinicians facilitate these referrals when such choices are appropriate options for students.
