| 1. Who can see my records at the Counseling and Health Center? |
| A. |
Maintaining confidentiality of service is an office priority. All counseling and medical
records are confidential and are NOT part of your academic records. Records are not available
to anyone except Counseling and Health Services staff without your written consent.
There are rare exceptions to confidentiality. Exceptions include possible suicide, homicide
or recent/intended serious violation of the law. Illegal possession of drugs for personal
use disclosed during an appointment will be kept confidential in accordance with federal law.
