I. Purpose and Policy Statement
Georgia Gwinnett College requires proof of immunizations for all new students (first-year, transfers, and others) as directed by policy consistent with recommendations provided by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, developed collaboratively by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and the Division of Public Health of the Georgia Department of Human Resources. Such policy shall be on file in the office of Student Affairs.
Information is available to every new student regarding required and recommended immunizations using information developed by the Division of Public Health in concert with the Office of Student Services of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
Specific departments, with concurrence of the President and the Chancellor, may require some immunizations not required for all new students by this policy. GGC is also authorized to impose additional immunization requirements for students when, in the opinion of the President and with concurrence of the Chancellor and appropriate public health authorities, there is a substantial risk of exposure to other communicable diseases preventable by vaccination.
Pursuant to legislation, all students residing in campus housing are required to sign a document stating that they have received a vaccination against meningococcal disease or reviewed the information provided by the institution.
II. Scope
This policy applies to all GGC students.
