Processing
If you need to have your records released,
Student Health Services, as required by law, must obtain a written
release, which allows us to transfer your records. A separate release is
required for each transfer.
Student Health Services maintains student
Health Information for the mandatory seven years as outlined by Texas A&M
University policy. After a certain number of years records may be moved
from their paper format to Microfilm.
As a patient you are entitled to a copy of
your records; however, the records are the property of Student Health
Services and guidelines are in place to protect you.
Obtain a copy of your Medical Record
This is a one-page form used to request a copy
of your health records. Again, we are required to receive your permission
before releasing these records. This form must be completed, signed, and
returned to us before the release of records can occur. Please include a
check or money order payable to TAMU with your form.
Medical Records Release Form
Please allow up to ten days for processing paper records and up to fifteen
days for microfilm records.
