GTPE health & safety guidelines for in-person learning and events

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Georgia Tech Professional Education has remained committed to providing safe, in-person options for professional learning and events. We are proactively follow these cleaning practices and protocols by the CDC. Additionally, we are still offering virtual course and virtual event service option s for those not ready to join us in person.

Following recently issued new interim guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH), the use of masks inside public buildings is recommended, even by fully vaccinated individuals.

For information on what to expect while in our facilities, please review our list of Frequently Asked Questions below. Complete details on all of Georgia Tech’s Covid-19 related policies and guidelines can be found at health.gatech.edu/tech-moving-forward.

Are masks required while visiting GTPE (Atlanta or Savannah)?

At Georgia Tech, everyone is encouraged to wear a mask or face covering while inside campus facilities.

What measures are being taken to ensure the facility is clean and sanitized?

The Global Learning Center and Georgia Tech-Savannah facilities are cleaned every day with EPA-approved disinfectants that meet the CDC requirements for use against viruses, bacteria, and other airborne and bloodborne pathogens. Our staff will continue to routinely sanitize high-touch areas and hand sanitizing stations are provided strategically throughout the buildings.

I am not ready to return to in-person learning and events. Are there options available virtually?

Yes! In addition to online course offerings, we have also upgraded our event services and capabilities to include new virtual and hybrid solutions, available to attendees around the globe.

What do I do if I receive a positive Covid-19 test result before my face-to-face class at GTPE (Atlanta or Savannah)?

Do not attend the course until a minimum of 10 days have passed since your symptoms of Covid-19 began, or, if you do not have symptoms, 10 days have passed since your test was collected. We will refund registration fees for health-related reasons with no questions asked.

What should I do if I receive a positive Covid-19 test result after my in-person GTPE class?

If your face-to-face class at GTPE (Atlanta or Savannah) was in the time period starting two days before your Covid-19 symptoms began (or two days before your Covid-19 test sample was taken if asymptomatic), and ending 10 days after your symptoms began, we request that you report your positive test via the Georgia Tech Covid-19 Positive Test Reporting Form. We request that you comply with local health department contact tracing protocols. When contacted, please provide them the contact information for the GTPE Registration Team (see below). The team answering the call will be able to provide a class roster for contact tracing, as well as contact information for support staff and Georgia Tech's Stamps Health Services, which reports all positive campus cases.

What is the protocol for testing and quarantine following exposure?
