- Apply for a summer scholarship for visiting students. All visiting students are welcome to apply for our summer scholarships by completing the Partial Tuition Scholarship Application. We review applications after an applicant is admitted and scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The typical scholarship award is one credit for every three credits taken.
- Sign up for HOYAlert. HOYAlert is the University’s emergency notification system. You can sign up for this on the University Safety and Emergency Preparedness website.
- Obtain your GOCard. All students must have a Georgetown GOCard to serve as their official student identification. The GOCard is required when entering the library or boarding a Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle and also grants you access to academic buildings, computer labs, and other campus facilities. Visit the GOCard website for information on how to obtain your GOCard and the many ways in which you can use your GOCard on and off campus.
- Coordinate your housing and meal plan. Summer Sessions students are not required to live on campus, but on-campus housing is available through the Summer Housing Office. If you choose to live on campus, you may also be interested in purchasing a meal plan through Summer Dining Services. Once you know your summer address, please remember to update your local mailing address in MyAccess.
- Submit your immunization forms to the Student Health Center. If you are under the age of 26 at the time of your registration, you must submit proof of immunization. Please complete the Georgetown University immunization requirements via the Georgetown University Immunization and Health Information Database Portal.
- Ensure your immigration documentation is in order. If you are not a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident, please complete all required steps for your immigration documentation as quickly as possible. This information is not applicable to U.S. citizens.
- Check your Georgetown University email regularly. All official communications from the University will be sent to your Georgetown University email address. This includes communications from the Office of Revenue and Receivables, the Registrar’s Office, the Summer Sessions Team, and your instructors. If you do not plan to check your Georgetown email address regularly, you should set up email forwarding to an email address that you do check regularly. You can access your Georgetown email using your NetID and password at apps.georgetown.edu.
