*ALERT* CAPS Will Be CLOSED on April 1, 2013

 

Welcome to Counseling and Psychological Services

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) helps students cope with stress or troubling personal problems that may interfere with their academic life. Everyday problems such as work stress, financial concerns, illness, family pressure, and relationship issues can be distracting, making it difficult to concentrate on coursework. Our goal is to assist you through our various services and help you manage life challenges that can hinder your academic progress.
