We will continue to primarily offer in-person clinical services in the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semesters, along with some virtual (teletherapy) services. Access to services is easy–please fill out a “Request for Service” (RFS) form on OWL for individual or group services. As you complete this, please also choose an appointment time that fits your schedule to have a ten-minute online appointment with a CAPS clinician to determine the next steps for treatment. If you cannot find an appointment that works for you or prefer to complete this process immediately with a CAPS clinician, you can walk into Suite 107 in Eickhoff Hall each weekday from 2 PM to 4 PM. For urgent concerns, please walk in from 830 AM to 430 PM or call CAPS anytime at (609) 771-2247 to determine the next steps. You may also call UWill 24/7 in an emergency at 833.646.1526.
