We recommend reaching out to your pediatrician or primary care provider. If you received vaccines in the U.S. or a U.S. territory, you may be able to request them through an immunization registry. Please be aware that the records request process can be lengthy and plan accordingly. Visit this CDC page to find the contact information for your state or territory: https://www.cdc.gov/iis/contacts-locate-records/index.html
Please submit the documentation for the doses that you have received so far, then reach out to the Wellness Center at wellnesscenter@agnesscott.edu. The Wellness Center will make a note that your immunizations are in-process so that you will not have a hold placed on your account due to incomplete health entrance requirements. A new deadline will be decided and a hold will be placed should documentation not be provided by the end of the extension.
Consult your healthcare provider for guidance. If your provider recommends you do not receive the vaccine, please reach out to the Wellness Center at wellnesscenter@agnesscott.edu for further steps.

Yes. The college-sponsored student health insurance plan provides coverage in all 50 states, U.S. territories and foreign countries. Foreign nationals are not covered in their home country.
No. You don't need a referral from the Wellness Center with SHIP. If you visit an off-campus medical provider, you'll be responsible for co-pays, deductibles and any portion of the bill not covered by SHIP. You should verify with United HealthCare before scheduling an appointment to ensure that the provider is covered by United Healthcare’s plan.
If you're already covered by an insurance policy (through your parent/guardian, employer, partner, or the Marketplace), you can submit your insurance policy information for verification completely online through Academic HealthCare’s website. To submit a waiver, please log into the website and upload proof of outside insurance. To have your waiver approved, your outside insurance must be active, ACA compliant, and allow you to receive services within 50 miles of Decatur/Atlanta, GA. The deadline to waive insurance for the full academic year is July 15. Waivers must be approved to opt out of the student health insurance.
Hard waiver” does not mean that you must enroll in the college-sponsored student health insurance plan (SHIP). It means that you must show evidence of adequate coverage by an acceptable health insurance plan.
Being enrolled in SHIP is one means to meet student health insurance requirements. We encourage you to compare SHIP against other options (for example, being a dependent on a parent/guardian’s health insurance plan, enrolling in a partner’s health insurance plan, or enrolling in an employer’s health insurance plan).
If you're not able to show proof of other, comparable health insurance coverage, you'll be enrolled automatically in the college-sponsored student health insurance plan and required to pay the premium.
Yes, all registered students may seek health services and counseling from the Wellness Center.
Hard waivers are monitored and verified by Academic HealthPlans. Academic HealthPlans will send an email message to you regarding the acceptance, need for further information, or denial of your waiver application.
No. You only need to complete the waiver process once each academic year, prior to the fall semester.
