Discrimination/Confidentiality/Counseling

The College will not discriminate against any student solely on the grounds that the student has a communicable disease. No student will be required to cease attending classes or participating in college functions solely on the basis of diagnosis of a communicable disease. The medical history or records of any student are considered confidential, and will not be released without the individual’s consent except as otherwise provided by law. The College will make available to all students, information developed by the Texas Department of Health. College counselors will refer students to sources of testing for HIV infection and counseling upon student’s request.
