Non F-1 Student Orientation & Information

Please complete check-in online before attending orientation. Students are not allowed to attend classes without checking in online.

All Georgia Tech students must meet the university's immunization requirements. You should try to collect and bring as many of your immunization records as possible prior to arriving in Atlanta. All immunization records must have a doctor signature, official date of immunization, and official stamp. Bring all available immunization records with you to campus on the day of the Orientation with the Georgia Tech Certificate of Required Immunizations. A representative from the Stamps Health Center will review the records to determine if you are missing any required immunizations. If you need to take additional shots, the student medical insurance will cover 100% of the costs for shots taken at the Stamps Health Center.
