[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure that your kid has all their booster shots, understands HIPPA and FERPA, understands all area requirements, prerequisites, how to declare a major & minor, and also how to access health care promptly if necessary (telehealth can be an option)[/quote] I have no idea what HIPPA is. And it's vanishingly unlikely that your student will need to understand HIPAA while in college. [/quote] NP here, but I think the point is you need to know if f your kid is 18 or older, you don’t have access to their medical info or care. You will need a medical POA for the state in which they’re living to make medical decisions should they be injured, sick, etc. Our friends’ son just had to have an emergency appendectomy while at school, and when they arrived at the hospital where was having surgery they couldn’t see him or get any information.
