| Confidentiality & Privacy |
All contacts with the Counseling Center are confidential, except in situations where laws or ethics require notification of a family member or proper authority.
The Counseling Center does not release any information regarding whether a student has used our services nor matters discussed in counseling. Except under certain specific circumstances, no parent, dean, faculty member, or other student can get access to information about you without your permission. Here are the exceptions:
- A student who has used our services may authorize us to release records or to disclose information to anyone the student chooses. We have a consent form you will need to request to sign.
- If the Counselor believes that there is danger to self or others, safety considerations will prevail, and the psychologist will notify appropriate family members or other authority. Such disclosure is for the purpose of providing the necessary care and protection of the student.
- In very rare circumstances, the court may order the release of confidential information.
