ADHD Information
Student Health Services providers do not offer testing, treatment, refills, initiation, or automatic renewal of ADHD medications. However, students with prescriptions from off-campus providers may fill their ADHD medications at the on-campus pharmacy.
Students requesting ADHD testing and/or treatment are referred to local or online providers. Our team can help you with off-campus resources to obtain these services in a timely manner.
Students wanting to address mood and anxiety symptoms as well as inattention can be evaluated by UCSC Psychiatry, if appropriate for our services. Workshops and individual appointments with our psychiatric case manager are available to determine the appropriate treatment option.
On-campus resources for ADHD:
- Workshops for students with questions about ADHD
- Disability Resource Center can provide academic support services for students with documented disabilities
- A case manager or therapist can assist with the referral process. Appointments can be scheduled by calling the CAPS front desk or dropping into a Case Management drop in time via Zoom.
