CONFIDENTIALITY
It is recognized that all students seeking services are clients
of the counseling center and are protected by the legal and ethical
standards regarding confidentiality and privileged communication.
These standards are provided by Pennsylvania State Law, regulations
of the PA state Board of Psychology, and the Ethical Principals
of the American Psychological Association. As such, no information
regarding the treatment of a student/ client can be released to
any third party without the written, informed consent of that student/
client. Exceptions are required by law if a counselor receives information
either from the student or others about an immediate threat of danger
or harm to the student or to others.
