Immunization Requirements
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires all students attending Middle Georgia State University to submit acceptable proof of immunization against the following: MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) 1 & 2, Tetanus-Diphtheria (Td booster in the last 10 years or primary series with DtaP, DTP or Td), and Varicella (either history of chicken pox, positive Varicella antibody, or two doses of vaccine given at least 1 month apart if immunized after age 13) before being allowed to register for classes. It is important that all shots be given after the first birthday. For students born before January 1, 1957, only proof of immunization against tetanus is required.
All applicants per USG policy are required to submit proof of immunization prior to attending classes. Certain applicants applying for online only programs may select the distance learning exemption. Applicants applying for the MS in Information Technology are allowed to use the waiver option, but applicants for the MS in Nursing will be required to submit a completed immunization form.
