No, vaccines are not required for MGA students or employees (some exceptions apply). However, MGA strongly encourages all students and employees to get a vaccine and booster.  You can visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html to determine if your vaccinations are up-to-date.

Please visit the FDA's COVID-19 Vaccine page for information on the approval status of the various COVID-19 vaccines.

No, the COVID-19 vaccine will not cause a positive test result for a COVID-19 PCR or antigen laboratory test. This is because the tests check for active disease and not whether an individual is immune or not. However, because the COVID-19 vaccine prompts an immune response, it may be possible to test positive in an antibody (serology) test that measures COVID-19 immunity in an individual.

Face coverings are not mandatory, but the University System of Georgia encourages all individuals to wear a face covering inside campus facilities.

Guidance from the DPH and USG have allowed a return to full-capacity in-person classes and a resumption of campus events.

MGA residence halls have resumed fully normal operations. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Residence Life.

MGA Dining Services have resumed fully normal operations. Dining Services employees will continue to wear face coverings to prepare and serve food, and the increased sanitation practices started in Fall 2020 have continued. If you have any questions, contact Dining Services.

Students who are in isolation or quarantine are not permitted to receive meals or groceries from external vendors (e.g. Doordash, Uber Eats, Instacart) due to safety and security reasons. Aladdin Food Services is MGA’s dining service vendor and will provide meals to students in isolation or quarantine when they cannot go to the dining campus hall. When the COVID-19 Task Force is made aware of the need for meal delivery, a request for this service is submitted to our vendor for food preparation on behalf of the student.

MGA Athletics have resumed normal operations. Please note, this may change based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, Department of Public Health, University System of Georgia, or our athletic conferences. Keep up-to-date on MGA Athletics on the mgaknights.com website.
