Stamps Health Services maintains complete patient/provider confidentiality and is HIPAA compliant. All medical information concerning a patient will be kept confidential. If the patient is eighteen years old or older, a signed consent form from the patient is required in order to release information. If the patient is not yet eighteen years old, a signed consent form from the patient’s legal guardian is required.

Services are only for currently enrolled students, co-op students, and spouses/domestic partners of enrolled students who have paid the student health fee for the current semester. (A spouse or domestic partner is only eligible if the student and spouse/domestic partner have both paid their health fees.) The health fee is automatically assessed to a student’s account along with tuition expenses if he or she is taking four credit hours or more. If a student is taking fewer than four credit hours or is enrolled in the co-op program, the student and spouse/domestic partner may opt to pay the health fee and use all health services.

The health fee covers:

• Unlimited visits with a primary care physician or registered nurse
• Basic radiological studies
• Some prescriptions and laboratory tests
• Basic medical supplies
• Flu shots
• Blood pressure and health screening

Additional services (available at a low cost) include:

• Allergy injections
• Chronic or special-order prescriptions
• Gynecology specialty clinic
• Certain lab tests
• Nutrition clinic
• Birth control
• Dermatology medications
• Immunizations

Each student is responsible for submitting their immunization records to Stamps Health Services. Additional information can be found at the Immunization Requirements page.

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires that all students entering Georgia Tech meet certain immunization requirements. The requirement for tuberculosis screening must also be fulfilled. In addition, all entering students must complete and return a medical entrance form prior to registration. Registration for classes will not be permitted until these requirements have been met.

The Psychiatry Clinic, on the second floor of the Stamps Health Services Building, provides general psychiatric services to eligible students, spouses, and domestic partners. Two hours of service per semester are covered by the student health fee. Fees apply for additional hours of care.

The Georgia Institute of Technology is committed to taking all practical measures to create a safe and healthy work environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Georgia Tech complies with the Board of Regents Tobacco and Smoke-Free Campus Policy.
