A Note about Confidentiality:
Student Outreach & Support services are not meant to be therapy, so the strict confidentiality that usually applies to mental health treatment does not always apply. However, SO&S will only share information with relevant individuals on a need-to-know basis.
In an effort to successfully coordinate services for a student, some information may be shared with other University offices or campus resources to provide the most appropriate assistance for that student.
In some situations, a written release may be signed by the student, so that Student Outreach & Support can share additional information, if needed.
Confidentiality is also subject to some limitations of law and University
policy stipulating responsibility to inform those in a position to
intercede when a student is deemed to be a danger to self or others.
Student Outreach & Support makes every effort to maintain student privacy while working with and coordinating support for students.
