Emory University: Can the college contact parents during a serious health or safety emergency?
DIRECT ANSWER
Yes. Emory may disclose information to parents or other appropriate parties when necessary to address a significant health or safety emergency.
Emory’s FERPA guidance includes the health-or-safety-emergency exception. Student Health privacy materials likewise recognize emergency disclosure pathways. The University determines what information is necessary and whom it is appropriate to contact based on the circumstances.
