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 cancellation fee of $15 will apply to appointments canceled, or rescheduled, an 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.
