Confidentiality
At the University Counseling Center and Student Health Services, we take the charge of confidentiality very seriously. All of our counseling and medical records are kept separate from university and academic records, and our team is committed to maintaining the privacy of the students that we serve. There are limits to confidentiality such as being a danger to oneself or others, but we’ll talk with the student about what that means during their first appointment.
