[quote=Anonymous]I feel like this is something that gets misunderstood. A POA is simply a form that designates you as their proxy should they need someone to act in their favor. It isn't a blanket "I now have access to all your info". The POA gets activated if your kid is unable to consent themselves. If your kid goes to the hospital with a broken leg, you don't get to call the hospital and say "I'm their POA, tell me what's going on". Your kid still has to give permission to the facility to give out their info to you. If the college has an online health portal your kid still needs to give their permission for you to access it, even if you have the POA paperwork filled out. An important thing is to make sure that your child has the emergency contacts in their phone filled out. And that in their dorm at school there is a paper taped up with your names and numbers.
