UH Students
Students must be currently enrolled at the University of Houston in order to receive services at CAPS. Proof of enrollment may be required.
Summer Eligibility
UH Students enrolled in any summer session are eligible for CAPS services.
New and Transfer Students
Incoming students who have enrolled at UH but have not yet begun their first UH class will be eligible for an intake appointment on the first day of class to determine what services will best meet their needs. The exception to this rule pertains to students seeking testing for LD/ADHD who can be seen as early as July 1 for an intake with proof of enrollment for the Fall Semester.
Students on Medical Withdrawal
In some cases, a client who medically withdraws from UH may continue receiving CAPS services for up to one semester following the semester for which the medical withdrawal was granted. The student must have begun receiving CAPS services prior to the medical withdrawal, and must anticipate re-enrollment at UH immediately following the additional semester of treatment. If the student does not re-enroll at UH at that time, they will receive community referrals. The student will be required to pay a fee (based on a sliding scale) in the semester after the one from which they withdrew. CAPS reserves the right to not grant requests for a letter in support of medical withdrawal if the student is not already in treatment and/or willing to commit to treatment.
UH Faculty and Staff
Current UH employees are eligible for intake, individual, couples, or group counseling, crisis intervention, consultation, and referrals. See current fee schedule.
