Confidentiality

All visits to Health Services and conversations with the staff are confidential. Your permission must be obtained before we will give information to anyone not directly connected with your care. This includes parents and college officials.

There are limited exceptions to this policy as we are required by law to report certain communicable diseases to the Public Health Department and in life-threatening situations.
