The staff does not and is not legally able to discuss information with anyone, including university officials, faculty members, parents, or outside agencies, without written authorization from the student. Exceptions to this are instances in which the student or someone else is in imminent danger of serious harm, there is a child or other depend being abused, or there is a court order requiring release of records.
