Welcome to CAPS!

*Statement about CAPS services and costs

Hello all,  

You may have seen emails recently 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.
