UA Makes Counseling Free for All Students | Tucson News

Starting July 1, the University of Arizona is slashing mental health barriers by eliminating the $25 counseling fee—making all in-person and telehealth appointments through Campus Health’s CAPS completely free for students. With 65% of college students reporting mental health needs in the past year, this move targets rising anxiety and depression, especially among marginalized and food-insecure students. CAPS has been preparing for this shift, partnering with student leaders to ensure sustainability and zero wait times. While psychiatry and ADHD services still carry fees, financial aid and insurance options are available—and past fees can be reimbursed. Mental health support just got a whole lot more accessible.
