Check In
Check-in occurs at the SIHP Office, located on the 2nd floor of the Clairmont Tower on Clairmont Campus: 2425 Dooley Drive, Decatur, GA 30033. The office is located inside the tall tower on the Clairmont Campus. You may park in the circle outside the tower while you check in.
Our hours are:

Effective Feb. 9, 2023, we are making the following changes to Emory University’s COVID-19 policies based on the guidance of Emory’s medical and public health experts:
- Emory University will no longer require COVID-19 vaccinations for students, faculty, and staff. However, Emory Healthcare COVID-19 vaccine requirements will still be enforced for health sciences students in the School of Medicine and School of Nursing, and those university employees already subject to EHC immunization requirements.
- Emory will no longer require students, faculty, and staff to report COVID-19-positive tests or complete isolation clearance forms to return to campus.
- Emory will remove all COVID-19 vaccine requirements for minors and non-Emory affiliated program participants staying in overnight on-campus housing.
Our experts strongly recommend the entire Emory community continue to keep up to date with vaccinations, stay at home if you are sick, and follow CDC guidelines for all COVID-19 matters.
As always, our public health teams will continue to monitor COVID-19 conditions, and we may need to adapt our response again in the future.
