Confidentiality
Medical records are confidential and are protected by law. Therefore, information in a student's medical records, absent an order of the court (subpoena or warrant), may not be disclosed, discussed or copied without the student's written consent, except in the case of public health matters where certain reports of contagion may be required by public health authorities. If medical information is requested by either a private physician or by the Health & Wellness Center, this must be in writing with an enclosed release of information form signed by the student. The Health & Wellness Center has a Records Release form which is applicable in either instance.
