Confidentiality
The Counseling Service staff abide by professional standards of confidentiality. We will not provide any information about your health or mental health to family members, faculty and staff, coaches, or employers without your written permission to do so.
Exceptions to the confidentiality standard occur when a student is assessed to be a danger to themselves or others, when records are subpoenaed, or in reporting abuse as required by law. In such cases, you would be informed when possible, and only the necessary information would be released.
