How to Submit Documents Electronically
Submit requested documents electronically to the Admissions, Registration, and Records office. Follow the instructions to submit electronic documents using our secure system. Acceptable digital formats include PDF, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and PNG.
Confidentiality of Records
Laws and ethical guidelines require that all interactions with Counseling Services, including content of your appointments, your records, scheduling of or attendance at appointments, and progress in counseling, are confidential. No record of counseling is contained in any academic, educational, or job placement file.
While information will not be released to anyone outside Counseling Services without your written permission, in order to provide you with the best possible service, we may confer with our colleagues within the Counseling Services Office.
Exceptions to Confidentiality
There are some exceptions to confidentiality. Specifically, we are legally required to disclose information to:
Protect you or someone else from imminent danger
Report suspected abuse of minors, the elderly, or persons with disabilities
Respond to a court subpoena
In any of these situations, a counselor would reveal only the information needed to resolve the immediate crisis or risk of danger. If a counselor believes you are in danger of hurting yourself or others, a counselor may contact appropriate medical and/or legal authorities.
