Services in the Counseling Center are strictly confidential, and information is shared with others only by request, consent of the student, or when there is a danger to human safety and life. Counseling records remain at the Counseling Center and are not a part of a college record.
Counselors encourage students to ask about confidentiality concerns.
The first mutually convenient open appointment time will be offered. When a student indicates that the request is urgent, a special appointment will be arranged as soon as possible. Emergencies are seen on an immediate basis. You may even offer to accompany the student to an initial appointment if doubt or discomfort about using the Center is expressed. If you are unsure about ways to proceed in making a referral you may consult with one of the Counseling Center staff members who will help you plan a strategy.
