Legal Notices

The statements set forth in this catalog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as the basis of a contract between a student and this institution.

 

While the provisions of the catalog will ordinarily be applied as stated, the Medical College of Georgia reserves the right to change any provision listed in this catalog, including but not limited to academic requirements for graduation, without actual notice to individual students. Reasonable effort will be made to keep students advised of any such changes. Information on changes will be available in the offices of the president, academic deans, and enrollment and student affairs. It is especially important that students note that it is their responsibility to keep themselves apprised of current graduation requirements for their particular degree program.

 

Limitation on Institutional Liability

In the event that an administrative hearing officer or a court of record determines that "publications" issued by the institution create a contractual or quasi-contractual relationship with any person, the amount of damages recoverable by the parties shall be limited to the amount of consideration paid by the person for the privilege of admission, enrollment, continued enrollment or other service rendered by the institution to such person. As used herein, the term "publications" (without limiting the generality of the normal meaning of the term) shall be deemed to include any and all written or electronic forms or other documents issued by the institution concerning applications for admission, enrollment or continued enrollment, waivers of liability, consents to medical treatment, dormitory occupancy and any and all other written forms, documents, letters or other materials issued by the university in furtherance of its educational mission.

 

Statement of Non-Discrimination

The Medical College of Georgia is an affirmative action/equal opportunity educational institution in that no person shall on the grounds of sex, race, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, sexual orientation, veteran's status or handicap be excluded from participation in or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in any educational program, activity, or facility.

The Medical College of Georgia is committed to an effective affirmative action policy. MCG strives to recruit, admit and educate a cross-section of qualified men and women representing the socio-economic, racial and cultural diversity of Georgia. This commitment is in keeping with our moral, legal and social responsibility and with the highest ideals and principles of American higher education.

 

Accessibility to Disabled Persons

The Medical College of Georgia's physical facilities and institutional programs have been modified in accordance with federal law and regulations to allow equally effective access by disabled persons. Structural changes, such as adaptations to public restrooms and construction of ramps and curb cuts, have been made to improve accessibility. Special services may be made available on a reasonable basis in accordance with reported needs of individual disabled students.

In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and The Americans With Disabilities Act, it is the policy of the Medical College of Georgia to insure that all students with disabilities are afforded equal opportunity and access to programs and facilities. Students are encouraged to identify their disability so that the medical college can determine what reasonable accommodation may be made.
