Confidentiality
Health Services keeps medical records in accordance with professional, legal and ethical guidelines. Other than authorized staff, no one will have access to records unless the patient releases them in writing. They will not become part of the student’s academic file, and even the fact that the student has come to Health Services will not be divulged to anyone without the student’s
permission.
In accordance with professional, ethical and legal guidelines, safety takes precedence over confidentiality. Therefore, if a student poses a threat to either to himself/herself or to another person, staff will report such information as is needed to maintain safety. The information will only be shared with those who will make appropriate use of such information.
