Resources for Students
Health and medical
MSU Student Health Services is open. Medical visits for MSU students are available at Olin Health Center. Call 517-353-4660, or more information can be found at studenthealth.msu.edu.
Mental health/counseling services
Students in crisis should call 911, go to their nearest emergency room or call CAPS anytime day or night at 517-355-8270 and press "1" at the prompt to receive assistance from a crisis counselor over the phone.
Students not in crisis who wish to get connected to any CAPS service (e.g., counseling or psychiatry) can begin our universal intake process by pressing the “Click here to get started” button on our homepage.
As a general rule, CAPS providers can only provide treatment services to students residing in Michigan due to licensing laws that govern the practice of our professional staff. However, consultation, referral and care management services are offered on a limited basis to students out of state to assist with connecting to local resources.
CAPS Connect
CAPS Connect is a consultation-based service for MSU students, aimed at reaching historically underrepresented groups, in which specific CAPS staff are assigned to unique student populations/areas of campus. CAPS Connect provides a place to talk about concerns. You can have someone listen to you and offer support, or you may prefer to receive expert suggestions about solutions and resources. Through brief 10-15 minute consultations, CAPS staff are able to listen, help students problem-solve specific issues, and develop a relationship that may transition into additional care when needed. For more information about CAPS Connect, visit https://caps.msu.edu/services/CAPSConnect.html
Fitness and wellness
Most IM activities are open across campus. Find schedules and more information on the RSFS website.
Students can also access MSU Health Promotion for information and resources regarding fitness and wellness, nutrition and disordered eating, substance abuse and recovery. If you have an appointment you wish to cancel or reschedule, or need to speak with a Health Promotion professional, please call 517-353-0718, or you may contact a provider directly via email.
