Georgia Tech: Will the college call me if my student becomes sick?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Not routinely. Student health records are confidential; Georgia Tech may disclose information without consent in a qualifying health or safety emergency.

Stamps Health Services treats student health records as protected FERPA treatment/education records and generally requires student consent before disclosure outside treatment. FERPA permits disclosure in a health or safety emergency when necessary to protect the student or others, but parents should not expect an automatic call for ordinary illness.
