How to make a same-day appointment at CAPS:
Note: In the Fall of 2021, we moved to a same-day appointment model to decrease wait times and have more available access to appointments closer to when students want them.
- Call (510) 642-9494 on the day you want the appointment and we can assist with options. (we recommend trying to call earlier in the day)
- Given same-day appointment may book up early in the day, you can also book on eTang, appointments may be available as soon as the night before.
Appointment considerations:
- If you were not able to find the appointment time you were looking for, be sure to see below at our additional counseling options through humanest, which can be booked out farther in advance.
- Most of our appointments are virtual, however we do offer in-person counseling when virtual appointments are not possible.
- For example, if students cannot find a secure and private location for a virtual appointment, we can try and offer a space either in an office, large room, or outside.
What to expect at your CAPS appointment:
