University of Tampa: Will the college call me if my student becomes sick?
DIRECT ANSWER
This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
Parents should not expect an automatic call for every illness because the student's health and education information is protected.
Postsecondary FERPA rights generally belong to the student, so UTampa cannot routinely disclose protected student information to a parent without consent or a legal exception. A qualifying health or safety emergency can permit disclosure to appropriate parties, but ordinary illness communication is not an automatic parent-notification service.
