Can Georgia Tech tell parents about an under-21 alcohol or drug violation?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes, in specified circumstances. Georgia Tech may notify a parent/legal guardian of a student under 21 after certain alcohol or drug violations.

Georgia Tech's Student Code of Conduct permits parent/legal-guardian notification for students under 21 when an alcohol/drug violation involves endangerment, or when future violations are likely to result in suspension or removal from housing. Notification is conditional, not automatic for every violation.
