Confidentiality

While restricted, disclosure of some degree of information is nevertheless permitted, and at times mandated by law and/or ethical standards, without the student’s consent in specific circumstances. It is important to understand that in all those instances where disclosure is necessary or required, the sharing of information will be limited to the minimum amount of information relayed to the minimum number and roles of individuals that is necessary to achieve the purpose of the disclosure (i.e., only need-to-know information to need-to-know persons). If the disclosure of information is desired by a student, students may authorize this by completing the Student Consent Form.
