Immunizations
USG Board of Regents has policies in place that require students attending classes at any of Georgia’s public institutions, including Augusta University, to meet established immunization requirements.
All students must provide appropriate documentation that they have fulfilled immunization requirements prior to the start of their school semester. Standard processing time for all submitted documentation is up to 7 business days.
Students Living in University Housing
All students living in on-campus housing (Oak Hall, Elm Hall, and University Village) must provide proof of Meningitis vaccinations prior to move-in day. This includes two (2) doses of Meningococcal Vaccine (MCV4, Menactra, Menveo) and preferably three (3) doses of Meningitis B Vaccine (Bexsero or Trumenba).
Please note: Students who decline to receive the vaccinations are required to sign an Immunization waiver of liability. Students under 18 years of age must have their parent or guardian sign.
Online Students
If you are an “online only” student and the program that you are in offers the waiver, you can complete the online only waiver via your Medicat Connect Portal. Please note that a new “online only” waiver is required to be filled out each semester. If at any time, your classes change to become hybrid or require on campus events/sessions, the immunization waiver is rescinded and immunizations must become compliant by AU and USG requirements.
