be confidential and are not considered to be public information. This information can be found in the Counseling Center's Policy Manual Draft and in the Consent to Counseling Services form that students read and sign prior to receiving psychological services. Issues of confidentiality, privacy and security regarding psychological records are enforced by state and national rules, laws and standards that regulate counseling services.
