Student Optional Disclosure of Private Mental Health Act
In accordance with the Student Optional Disclosure of Private Mental Health Act (110 ILCS 74), Rockford University is providing students the opportunity to authorize, in writing, the disclosure of certain private mental health information to a designated person of their choosing.

This Act states that an institution of higher learning may disclose mental health information if a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner, makes a determination that the student poses a clear danger to himself, herself or others to protect the student or other person against a clear, imminent risk of serious physical or mental injury or disease or death being inflicted upon the person or by the student on himself, herself, or another. The physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner shall, as soon as practicable, but in no more than 24 hours after making the
determination under this section, attempt to contact the designated person and notify the designated person that the physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner has made a determination that the student poses a clear, imminent danger to himself, herself, or others.

The form below provides you, as a student at Rockford University, with this opportunity as determined by the law. It asks you to designate an adult whom you would like us to contact in the event that you experience a mental health emergency that puts you or others at risk for serious injury or death. You are not required to designate a contact. However, should you choose to designate someone, it can be anyone over the age of 18 (parent, relative, sibling, family friend, or other adult). Please note too, that under certain circumstances as allowed or required by law, certain University officials may contact parents or others in the event of an emergency to protect the student’s life or the lives of others without the student’s express written consent. Students who wish to take the opportunity to give another individual authorization to disclose private mental health information must complete this Designated Person Form below.
