Limitations of Confidentiality

While CTC and DSS will strictly observe a student’s confidentiality as required by law, stated above, CTC, DSS and its staff maintain the right to divulge relevant information when information is made available by the student that includes harm to self, harm to others, or the planning of the commission of a crime (see Tarasoff v Regents of the University of California). Final determination for providing appropriate and reasonable accommodations will rest with the institution. Central Texas College and Disability Support Services reserve the right to deny services to any individual who presents a danger to themselves or to others, or who make intentions known to harm others and will take the necessary preventive and legal actions to avoid any such danger or harm.
