What is BC’s policy with regard to accessing information on students “prior” mental health issues?

Intro to Social Work HW: (BTW, thanks this wall has always been helpful) What is BC's policy with regard to accessing information on students "prior" mental health issues? Is there a specific policy besides the question asked on the UHS pre-entrance form? What does BC do if students do choose to disclose "prior" record (meaning record before coming to BC)? — Intro to Social Work HW: (BTW, thanks this wall has always been helpful) What is BC’s policy with regard to accessing information on students “prior” mental health issues?

For classwork, I am duty-bound as a wall in a library to provide resources but not answers. (It’s also generally wise to go straight to the source in order to preserve accuracy.) Best sources in this case would likely be UCS (bit.ly/bc-counseling) and/or the Dean of Students office (bit.ly/BC-DOS).

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
