    COVID-19 Protocols and Information

    Beginning May 2022, the University of North Georgia (UNG) shifted covid-19 protocols to treating covid-19 as we do other infectious diseases and continue to transition our response as outlined below. We will remain attentive to national and local covid-19 trends and will revise our approach as needed. 

    We encourage everyone in the UNG community to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) recommendations, vaccinate, and wear a mask based on preference and assessment of personal risk.

    Thank you for doing your part to keep Nighthawks together.

    Vaccinations

    covid-19 vaccines and boosters offer safe, effective protection, and we urge all students, faculty, staff and visitors to consult with their healthcare providers about getting vaccinated and/or boosted. Getting vaccinated is easy and free.

    Student Health will continue to offer vaccine and booster opportunities utilizing Pfizer vaccines. A list of vaccine clinics can be found on the Student Health Center website.

    Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Testing

    Due to decreased demand and the wide availability of at-home test options, we have discontinued on-campus asymptomatic testing. Symptomatic testing in Student Health Services on both the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses remains available for students who have paid the Student Health fee and who have been evaluated by a campus health services medical provider. Students who desire an evaluation by a campus medical provider can schedule an appointment via their online health portal.

    Isolation and Quarantine Guidance

    Students and employees should follow Georgia Department of Public Health guidance in the case of a positive test or an exposure. The Department of Public Health, not the university, will conduct contact tracing as needed on positive cases or direct or indirect exposures.

    Remember, if you are experiencing covid symptoms or other contagious illness, please do not come to campus.

    • Students who are required to isolate or quarantine should use the Excused Absence Notification process to initiate an excused absence. Students who live in University Housing will be asked to leave campus to isolate.
      • Exceptions will be considered for students who cannot leave campus. Requests for exceptions should be made to Residence Life or the Commandant’s Office (for cadets).
    • Employees who are required to isolate or quarantine should contact their supervisor and coordinate appropriately.

    covid-19 Reporting

    Personal Protective Equipment

    UNG’s Emergency Preparedness will distribute PPE to university departments upon request at the beginning of each term and during periods of high transmission.
