Office of Legal Affairs

As apart of the USG System of Universities, It’s important to us to maintain strong policies that prioritize our students and the legacy of Georgia Public Colleges.

Contracts

This section provides access to contract-related information, including requirements, procedures, and relevant forms. It is intended to support transparency, consistency, and compliance throughout the contracting process.

Title IX

Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, ensuring equal access, safety, and resources for all students, faculty, and staff.

Open Records Requests

The Vice President and Chief Legal Affairs Officer serves as the University’s Custodian of Records for purposes of the Georgia Open Records Act. If you are requesting access to University records pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, please contact the Office of Legal Affairs. For your convenience, you may e-mail your requests to us at [email protected].

The Georgia Open Records Act requires persons requesting access to documents to compensate the University for the reasonable and necessary cost of compiling, accessing, assembling, or copying records in response to a request.

If your office or department receives a request for access to records under the Georgia Open Records Act, please contact the Office of Legal Affairs right away. Because response times allowed under the Act are short, it is important to begin work on Georgia Open Record Act requests as quickly as possible.

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects student education records, ensuring privacy and controlled access to academic information.
