17.2 The college reserves the right to call an ambulance and/or the Kankakee Police Department if a student appears to be in imminent danger of harming himself/herself or has threatened to harm others.
17.3 The state of Illinois Public Act 099-0278 requires that an institution of higher learning provide all students the opportunity to authorize in writing the disclosure of certain private mental health information to a designated person.
KCC may disclose a student's mental health information if a qualified examiner employed by the college determines that the student poses a clear danger to himself, herself, or others. This action can be taken to protect the student or other person against a clear, imminent risk of serious physical or mental injury or disease or death being inflicted upon the person or by the student on himself, herself, or another.
The information from the qualified examiner will be disclosed to the designated person as soon as practical, but no more than 24 hours after making the mental health determination. A designated person can be a parent, guardian, or other person over age 18 designated by a student to receive disclosure of certain private mental health information.
