Want to get connected to CAPS for the Fall 2024 semester?
Every student completes one access appointment per academic year as the first step to get connected to our services. Go to Get Connected to CAPS, and select "New Clients" and then "Access Appointment." (Please note, you must be on campus internet or using VPN in order to access the scheduling page.) As a reminder, schedule your access appointment for a time that you will be in a secure and private location with cell service, as access appointments are conducted over the phone.
Also, if you do not see any available access appointments, please keep checking back on the web booking portal, as more Access appointment slots are added every day. You may have more success earlier in the day because appointments are only visible two weeks out.
