UCC Confidentiality
The University Counseling Center strictly protects the confidentiality of information shared during sessions. We are ethically committed to confidentiality and federal/state laws require it. This means that even your attendance in counseling is kept private and confidential. No record of a student’s visit to UCC is placed on a transcript or academic record.
State and Federal law states that there are four exceptions to this general rule:
- You may request (by means of a signed release) that your counselor reveal information to other individuals or agencies of your choice;
- In instances where there is imminent danger of serious harm to yourself or others;
- In cases involving physical and/or sexual abuse of children or endangered adults; and
- Where otherwise requested by subpoena or mandated by court order or state/federal law.
