What do you mean by required documentation?
All applicants are required to complete an admission application, provide official high school transcripts, any and all prior college or technical school transcripts, and immunization records. Failure to provide this documentation can prevent or delay acceptance and or registration.

What Immunization records/shots are required?
All students must provide documentation from their physician, health department, etc. that they have been immunized for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR1/MMR2), Tetanus-Diphtheria Vaccine (MTD), and proof of Chicken Pox or Shingles disease or the Varicella Vaccine (MCP) unless they claim a religious exemption. Meningococcal Vaccine (MENI) is highly recommended for those students living in on-campus housing. Students that are 18 or younger at the time of matriculation will also be required to have 3 doses of Hepatitis B Vaccine (MHPB). Students who claim religious exemption, in the event of an outbreak, will be asked to leave campus to prevent infection. Under Georgia law, we are required to notify students they may also need to be immunized for Meningitis and Hepatitis B. The Tetanus-Diphtheria Vaccine (MTD) must have been given within the past 10 years to satisfy the requirement.

You mentioned an academic advisor. How will I know who that is?
All students are assigned an academic advisor based on their campus and major indicated on their application.
