Confidentiality Statement

University Counseling Center

As a client, all information you share about yourself will be kept confidential. Only with your written permission will information be released to anyone outside of the UCC except as required by law. Legal exceptions include the following:

clear and imminent danger to you or someone else
if there is a reasonable expectation that you will engage in dangerous conduct as defined by Illinois state statute
reasonable suspicion that a child or elder is currently being abused
a court order

UCC records do not become part of student educational or medical records. While UCC staff members may consult with a supervisor or with one another, all staff members are ethically and legally bound to treat that information confidentially.
