Confidentiality Policy

Information obtained during counseling or in written form through testing will not be disclosed to anyone without written permission.

Telephone messages left for you will not mention the RCC and will be left in the secretary's name. If you prefer that messages be handled in a different way, please discuss this with your counselor.

By State law, and ethical guidelines, limitations of confidentiality include instances in which:

There is a risk of imminent harm to the student or others
The clinician has reason to believe that a child, elderly or handicapped person is in danger of or is being abused or neglected
The counselor has been served with a court-order to release information
There is a criminal lawsuit in which the student is involved
There is reason to suspect that the student has been the victim of sexual exploitation by a former mental health provider during the course of treatment
