CSci Tutor Room

Student privacy is important to us at CS&E. The majority of your conversations and email correspondence with CS&E staff are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), however there are University policies, as well as state and federal laws, which place some limits on confidentiality.

CS&E staff are required to release information, without your permission, to designated authorities if you:

• Report a credible and imminent threat of danger to yourself or another person(s)
• Report or describe, or we suspect, any physical abuse, neglect, mental injury, or sexual abuse of children within the last three years (this includes the occurrence of abuse or neglect to yourself if you were under age 18 at the time of the abuse)
• Report sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, relationship violence, and/or related retaliation. In this case, a report will be made to the Office for Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, which will reach out to you to share resources for personal support and information about how to initiate an investigation process or other responsive action if you choose.

In the case that we must report, our practice is to notify you either in-person or through email that the information you shared with your advisor has been reported to the EOAA office. If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected].
