Review and approval process for Emory College of Arts & Sciences and Georgia Tech undergraduates in School of Medicine labs
The School of Medicine, in collaboration with Emory College of Arts & Sciences (ECAS) and Georgia Tech, has established a process to review and approve requests for ECAS and Georgia Tech undergraduates to serve in School of Medicine labs this summer. All undergraduates must be reviewed/approved through this process for summer, regardless of current status. If the student is 100% remote, they do not have to go through this process.

Process:
The school will review submitted surveys and send recommendations to ECAS and Georgia Tech. ECAS or Georgia Tech will contact students with determinations. ECAS students will need to comply with the university’s return to campus guidance. Georgia Tech students will need to complete the requirements in the Emory Visitor policy/process. In both cases, these steps will need to be completed in addition to School of Medicine/ECAS/Georgia Tech review and prior to the student returning to Emory’s campus and the School of Medicine lab.
