Update of Fall Services
In order to provide the quickest access for students, CAPS has shifted all first-time appointments for the remainder of the Fall 2023 semester to a single session same day format. Single Session appointments are set up as a one-time appointment that are structured to give a student a springboard for finding solutions to the challenges they are experiencing in their life now. It is not meant to be a substitute for regular scheduled appointments. Regularly scheduled and on-going services will return at the beginning of the New Year. Single Session services are available every day, M-F 8am-4pm. To access these services come by our office.
Free and fantastic services also remain available through our Student Support App. Should you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out at 785-864-2277 or visit caps.ku.edu.
Culture of Caring
CAPS recognizes that many KU students are being impacted by recent and historical events. We hold firm to KU's values and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Our staff are here to help students navigate through these times and understand that each of us is impacted in our own individual and unique ways.
If you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed, please reach out for support. First time appointments can be reserved online through the CAPS Portal or by calling (785) 864-2277. Please let the front desk know if you have urgent needs or are in crisis. You may call or come in during business hours to schedule an urgent appointment. After hours, you may also access support by calling or texting 988 or accessing TELUS Student Support. Contact information and further crisis resources can be found by clicking the "Crisis Support" button below.
