Can I access my student's counseling records (including appointment history)?

The Health & Counseling Center values our ability to provide students with a safe and confidential place to seek help. Therefore, we will not disclose student information to parents, friends, coaching staff, or faculty unless we have signed release from the student. If a student is in imminent danger, emergency contacts will be notified by the University.

Please be aware that clinicians and administrative staff at the Health & Counseling Center are bound by Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws which prohibit us from disclosing information about a student without their knowledge and written consent. While we are happy to answer your general questions regarding our policies and procedures at the Health & Counseling Center, we cannot speak specifically about your student or confirm whether or not they are receiving services.
