New York State law requires the consent of a parent/guardian for medical care (reproductive and sexual health care excluded) of persons under 18 years of age.
If a student is younger than 18 years of age when they arrive on campus or at the start of the semester, a parent or guardian must provide written consent for treatment. Students under 18 cannot access health care from Health Services without a completed Parental Consent Form on file. This form must be completed if the student is under 18 years of age at the time of arrival on campus or the start of the semester, even if the student will turn 18 during the academic year.
Provide Health Services with a written consent for treatment
Prior to making an appointment with Health Services, or receiving any type of care, a parent or guardian of a student under the age of 18 years old must fill out the Written Consent Form and submit it via mail or fax.
