Full-time faculty, staff members and students of Georgia Southern, as well as dependents of full-time Georgia Southern faculty, staff members and students, are charged a fee of $25 per evaluation and $62.50/semester for therapy.
Clients who are unable to pay the fee in full are directed to the clinical supervisor and/or clinic coordinator in order to make arrangements.
