CAPS counselors may consult with other CAPS counseling professionals in order to better assist students. A signed "Consent for Release of Information" form is required to disclose any information about your counseling experience to a third party.

Your request (by means of a signed release) that your counselor reveal information to other individuals or agencies of your choice

Imminent threats to the safety and well-being of yourself or others

When release of confidential information is required by court order
