Confidentiality

 

Confidentiality: Our Commitment to Confidentiality

Counseling sessions and counseling records are confidential. Student privacy is important to us and is protected by state laws and professional ethical standards. No information about counseling appointments will be released without a student’s written authorization. However, confidentiality is legally limited. Those limitations include: if it becomes apparent that someone may do harm to self or to others, if information is subpoenaed by court and in the case of mandatory reporting of child abuse/neglect.

Counseling records do not become part of a student's academic record.
