Frequently Asked Questions

How is my privacy protected?
We strive to protect the privacy of the counseling relationship in a manner consistent with professional and ethical guidelines established for counselors and psychologists by the American Psychological Association and with local, state, and federal statutes. Confidentiality means that your contact with the CAPS office does not go on your academic record and that clinical materials will not be disclosed to any other office or individual unless you have signed a written release for this to occur. We strive to make CAPS a place where you feel safe to talk about personal concerns.
