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.
Students who have previously attended a state public college/university are not exempt from this updated, revised immunization requirement.
The University System of Georgia [Board of Regents Policy 408.02] requires that all students provide proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. Effective January 2005, new students are also required to provide proof of immunization to varicella (chicken pox), tetanus, diphtheria and, if 18 years of age or less at the time of classes, hepatitis B. The purpose of this 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.
Although admission decisions will be made without the UNG Certificate of Immunization form, no student will be allowed to register for classes until all immunization requirements are met. Because of the possibility that you may be required to receive a series of vaccinations, we strongly encourage you to begin making arrangements to have the UNG Certificate of Immunization form completed by a health official a few months prior to the beginning of classes. Medical records cannot replace the form.
Send your immunization form to the appropriate office for your campus:
Student Health Services
stuhealth@ung.edu
F ax: 706-864-1448
Phone: 706-864-1948
Please allow 48-hour notice for processing of immunization records.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And StaffAt the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.
As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.
Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.
