Confidentiality

Center maintains confidentiality to the limits provided by the law. No
record of counseling is contained in any academic, educational or job
placement file, and information about counseling is only released with
the student's written permission. The only exception would be in cases
mandated by law, such as imminent danger to self or others, abuse of
children, the elderly. or the disabled, or a court subpoena.
