Certificate of Immunization

All new students (freshman, transfers, and others) attending regularly scheduled classes or receiving resident credit will be required to submit a Certificate of Immunization prior to attending classes. The certificate will be kept on file and will be valid throughout the tenure of the student's enrollment.

Effective Spring Semester 2005, the list of required immunizations for new students entering a state, public college/university has been updated as required by Georgia Board of Regents policy. The purpose of this new policy is to ensure that students are protected against communicable diseases that are preventable and to reduce the likelihood of an epidemic or threatened epidemic on a Georgia public college/university campus.

The Georgia Board of Regents/University System of Georgia, in conjunction with the Division for Public Health of the Georgia Department of Human Resources and the Centers of Disease Control, has created guidelines for implementing the new immunization standards on Georgia’s public college campuses.
