Weapon Restricted Campus and Campus Carry

The Governor of Georgia has signed a bill that will allow Georgia Weapons Carry License (WCL) holders to carry a concealed handgun on college campuses; however, there are exceptions to this new law. This Campus Carry link -http://www.portal.gptc.edu/campus-carry - provides information about the law and the exceptions. Please read and understand the information provided. It is the responsibility of the WCL holder to comply with the law. Refer to the website and the Student Handbook for additional detail.
