Confidentiality



Meeting and talking with a counselor is confidential.  In fact, no one knows that you have come here unless you volunteer that information.  Visits to the counseling center will not show up on your transcript and will not affect financial aid.  Counseling records are kept for treatment purposes and are not part of another other university record.  Therefore, your professor, friends, and family will not know you went to counseling or what you talked to your counselor about.

Exceptions to this policy include:
Imminent danger to self
Imminent danger to others
Child/dependent abuse
Elderly abuse
Court order
When required by law
Client signs a written release allowing the counselor to speak to a specific person about you and your case
