CAPS Services
Clinical services are offered at a reduced cost to eligible students and their spouses who have paid the student health fee.
Note: the student health fee is only automatically charged Fall and Spring semesters and must be
intentionally
chosen during the Summer semester.
Limited financial assistance is available based on need.
Providers include independently licensed clinicians, early career professionals, and trainees
. Slide5
Accessing and Initiating Services
An appointment for a brief 30-minute in-person screening can be scheduled using the University Health Center
patient portal
online (uhs.uga.edu) or by calling CAPS during business hours. This appointment is the entry point for all CAPS services. There is
no charge
for this initial screening.
During the screening, basic information is gathered in order to determine appropriate resources to support the student whether at CAPS, another campus agency or community provider in the best way possible. This
may or may not include CAPS services
.Slide6
Initial Contact
If individual services at CAPS are recommended, a student may continue to see the clinician who conducted the screening, or a student may be assigned to work with a different clinician. Determinations are based on a student’s needs and clinician availability.
During periods of peak demand, there may be some delay in accessing services.Slide7
