Fees

No student will ever be turned away from receiving medical or psychological services at the Cowell Center due to lack of funds. Additionally, students will never be required to pay for services at the time of visit.
  • The Cowell Center does not bill insurance companies directly. Students can request itemized receipts that they may submit for potential reimbursement to their insurance companies as out of pocket claims. They can request these via phone or email. Cowell Center fees will appear in the Finances section of Workday. Fees cannot be paid with HSA/FSA accounts as Santa Clara University does not accept debit or credit cards for payment on student account charges.

    No-shows will result in a fee of $30 for SHS and CAPS appointments.

    Please note: Starting Spring 2024, a late cancelation fee of $15 will apply to appointments canceled one hour or less before the appointment start time.

    Federal Pell Grant recipients may be eligible for additional fee waivers (link to Pell Grant Fee Waiver section below).

    Graduate school students who are not on the SCU’s Student Health Insurance Plan will be charged $90 per quarter if they use Cowell Center services.

    This list is not exhaustive and prices are subject to change.

  • All CAPS appointments are free of charge.
  • Appointments with the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in CAPS are also free, though the student is responsible for any lab and medication expenses. This fee structure is offered as part of a one-year pilot given university and donor funding.
  • For all one-on-one CAPS appointments, there is a $30 fee for late cancellations (under 24 hours) or no-shows.

Please note: Starting Spring 2024, a late cancelation fee of $15 will apply to appointments canceled one hour or less before the appointment start time.
