Confidentiality and Obligatory Reporting

The Student Life Office and many of the departments in Student Life are not confidential resources. Information shared with the Student Life Office or the division of Student Life is treated with utmost sensitivity and only shared with appropriate offices on a need-to-know basis.

Students who would like to speak with a confidential resource may be referred to Health and Counseling Services or, in situations of sexual assault or harassment, the Program Director for SHARE (Sexual Health, Advocacy & Relationship Education). See below for more information about confidential resources and reporting options.

 

Confidential Resources

Health and Counseling Services

Students who would like to discuss their situation with a confidential resource may be referred to Health and Counseling Services. Confidentiality is an issue that the counseling and medical staff at the Health and Counseling Center take very seriously. The Health and Counseling Center, the ethical principles of counseling and medical professionals, and Oregon law are all in agreement about the importance of the confidential interactions between a student and their health provider. Professionals working in ºìÌÒÊÓƵ’s Health and Counseling Center will never release student information to a parent, professor, or third party without explicit written consent from the student or in the case of an extreme emergency. Visit Confidentiality on the HCC’s website for more information.

Sexual Health, Advocacy & Relationship Education

Students would like to discuss their situation with a confidential resource may also be referred to the Program Director for SHARE (Sexual Health, Advocacy & Relationship Education). For more information, please visit the SHARE website.

Obligatory Title IX Reporting

The college has responsibilities to respond to reports of sexual and relationship violence. Additional information about the policies, processes, and supports are available in the Discriminatory Harassment and Sexual Misconduct policy (DHSM) and the Title IX webpage.

ºìÌÒÊÓƵ encourages all community members to report sexual harassment, assault, relationship violence, and stalking. There are anonymous, confidential, and non-confidential ways to report.

Any community member may report concerns, but certain employees must report possible violations of the DHSM or Title IX. A full list may be found on the Title IX webpage.

To learn more about Title IX reporting and assistance, please visit the Sexual Health, Advocacy & Relationship Education website.
