Confidentiality Notification

NOTE: Confidentiality cannot be ensured to the same level in an online platform. Both student and counselor should make every effort to ensure privacy for online discussions, whether verbal or written, and to be aware of others around when discussing sensitive material.

Information discussed with the counselor is kept confidential with few exceptions, including when a student might be a threat to self or others, in cases involving child or elder abuse or neglect, and in situations when parent involvement would be beneficial to the student. (Efforts are made to involve the student should notification of anyone outside of the Guidance Office be necessary.)
