Services

The CAPS staff provides individual, group and relationship counseling. Walk-in and after hours assistance is available for students with urgent concerns.In addition, staff psychiatrists can prescribe medications if needed. We also offer special workshops and support groups that help students relax, gain assertiveness skills, manage the demands of school and children, improve body image, complete theses and dissertations, manage anger, and handle other issues of concern.

You're Eligible

All UNL students are eligible for UHC services. If you're currently enrolled in seven or more credit hours during the semester, you automatically pay student fees that allow you to benefit from reduced UHC rates. Students who are enrolled in six or fewer credit hours can pay student health fees to benefit from our reduced UHC rates or be seen on a fee-for-service basis at regular UHC rates.

It's Affordable

The first three counseling visits are at no charge for any student during their enrollment at UNL. Charges begin with the fourth visit and are based on an hourly rate. There is a charge for all visits with a psychiatrist. Remember, most of our services are offered at rates below community rates. Insurance may cover your counseling visit depending upon your insurance plan.
