For any health issues or concerns during your time at Georgetown, you can visit the Student Health Center. At the Health Center, you’ll find a staff of family practice faculty physicians and nurse practitioners with specialized training and experience in college health who are dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare.

While you’re at Georgetown, you can read or study in one of our many on-campus libraries. Make sure to bring your GOCard for entry into each library.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Academic Resource Center assesses accommodations for students with disabilities based on documentation from a medical professional. Review of documentation may take 3-4 weeks; hence, students should submit documents to the Academic Resource Center in a timely manner, preferably prior to the start of a program or semester. As part of the interactive process, accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis following review of the medical documentation and a meeting with an Academic Resource Center administrator.

It is the responsibility of the student seeking accommodations to meet with the assigned Academic Resource Center administrator within the first few weeks of the semester or program. During the meeting with the administrator, the student will receive accommodation letters for their instructors and directions of how to discuss the implementation of accommodations with their instructors. Accommodations are not retroactive; students must make arrangements to meet with their Academic Resource Center advisor and professors at the start of each semester to discuss implementation of accommodations.

Please visit the ARC's documentation guidelines and accommodation process website for a step-by-step guide on requesting an accommodation. Questions regarding the accommodation process or the documentation guidelines, please contact the School of Continuing Studies’ Academic Resource Center at arc-scs@georgetown.edu or 202-784-7366.

As a Summer High School student, you’ll have the opportunity to live in the residence halls on campus. Each residence hall contains study areas, laundry rooms, and lounges that you can use for studying, reading, or socializing. Each double room is equipped with typical college furniture—beds, desks with hutches, bookshelves, drawers, built-in closets, carpeting, air-conditioning, desk chairs, and wireless internet access.

We encourage all students to sign up for HOYAlert, Georgetown University’s emergency notification system that we use to alert members of the community in the event of a campus emergency or closure. You can log into HOYAlert by using your NetID and password.

Emergency blue light call boxes are located across campus for emergency calls directly to the Department of Safety & Environmental Management. Please review the Department of Safety & Environmental Management website before you arrive on campus for important personal and campus safety information.

We are committed to promoting a safe and welcoming environment for minors participating in Georgetown programs, courses, and activities and non-University programs that occur on our campus.
