Welcome to CAPS!

*Statement about CAPS services and costs

Hello all,  

You may have seen information from Cayuga Health at Ithaca College, the healthcare provider for IC, in which it was announced that their medical and behavioral health services would be billed to insurance or directly to students. 

 The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is not affiliated with Cayuga Health and is a free-standing student service office that is administered, and supervised, by Ithaca College.  We do not bill students for any of our services and there are no plans to change this policy.  All students should know that we are committed to maintaining your privacy and the confidentiality of your meetings with us and that we will not release your counseling information to any third-party without your permission or awareness.

JED Campus Initiative at Ithaca College

In the Fall of 2020, Ithaca College began the process of becoming a JED Campus. The JED Project is a national nonprofit organization that holds the goals of supporting and protecting the emotional health of our country’s 40 million high school and college students and to reduce the risks of substance abuse and suicide. JED collaborates with schools to create and enhance mental health and suicide prevention programming and systems; develop expert resources and create powerful partnerships so that students have the support they need, when and how they need it; and educate and empower young adults, families and the community to take action.
