CAPS Appointment FAQ's

1. We offer in-person and Zoom appointments. View CAPS Hours & Locations.

2. There will be a little paperwork: 

  • Before your first appointment: Check in about 30 minutes early to complete paperwork.

  • If you (or your student) are less than 18 years old, follow these instructions for students who are minors

3. Insurance is helpful but not required.

You will need a copy of your health insurance card or a screenshot from your insurer's website to complete initial paperwork. You can be seen at CAPS without insurance. Find out more about fees and insurance at CAPS.

What Happens With Your Counselor 

During your Counseling & Consultation Session, you'll meet with a counselor for about 45 minutes. During that time, you and your counselor will:  

Your Care Plan may include a combination of another Counseling & Consultation Session on an as-needed basis, on-demand tools and self-care strategies, individual counseling, groups and workshops, and/or psychiatry.

Sometimes The Best Plan Is Outside of CAPS

Sometimes, the best plan for a student involves other University resources or off-campus services. This can happen for a number of reasons, like insurance needs, the kind of services a student is looking for, or what would be the best match for a student's concerns and goals. When that's the case, we'll help you identify people to call to get started. Meet with a care coordinator for a free Resource & Referral appointment or talk with your CAPS provider about your options.
