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.

State and Federal law states that there are four exceptions to this general rule: (a) you may request (by means of a signed release) that your counselor reveal information to other individuals or agencies of your choice; (b) in instances where there is imminent danger of serious harm to yourself or others; (c) in cases involving physical and/or sexual abuse of children or endangered adults; and (d) where otherwise requested by subpoena or mandated by court order or state/federal law.
