Emory University: Will the college call me if my student becomes sick?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Not automatically for an ordinary illness. Student medical and education information is protected; Emory may share information when the student consents or when a health/safety exception permits disclosure.

Emory Student Health explains that student health information is protected and that postsecondary student records have privacy protections. A parent should not expect an automatic call for routine sickness. In a serious health or safety emergency, FERPA and applicable health-record rules can permit disclosure to appropriate parties, including parents, when necessary.
