Can a parent access a UT Austin student's University Health Services medical records?

DIRECT ANSWER

Not automatically. The student must authorize release or verbal disclosure to the parent or other third party.

UT University Health Services provides a formal process for medical-record release and for authorizing UHS to discuss records with a third party. The student can complete the appropriate authorization or verbal-disclosure consent. Parents should not ask the student to share portal credentials; the authorization process is the correct route.
