When a student’s condition is considered critical, the next of kin is contacted if the “Notification Authorization” on the medical history form has been signed by the student, or at the discretion of the Dean of Students.
Parents are welcome to contact the health center with questions and concerns. However, in compliance with the federal Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act (HIPAA), we are unable to release to parents information regarding their student's health records or health status unless the student has signed a release of information form specifically allowing their parents to have access to their health status or records.
