Student Counseling Services Confidentiality

Confidentiality

All clinical contact with the Student Counseling Services is privileged and confidential. While the staff is responsive to the needs and concerns of other segments of the College community in regard to individual students, no information regarding a student's treatment will be divulged to anyone including parents, faculty or staff of Connecticut College, without the written consent of the student.

However, by law, a clinician must report any knowledge of suspected child or elder abuse, or of a risk to an individual's life. In addition, a clinician must disclose records if ordered by a court to do so. In these very unlikely situations, the staff member will reveal only required information about a student.
