Beginning Tuesday, September 1, Georgetown will implement enhanced testing requirements. The university’s protocol includes routine testing of community members with a regular presence on campus and students residing in the Georgetown, Burleith, or Foxhall neighborhoods (“Neighborhoods”). In general, if you are on campus two or more times per week, you should be tested twice each week. If you are on campus once per week or are a student residing in the Neighborhoods, you should be tested once each week. Learn how to schedule your test here.

Student Behavior and New COVID-19 Student Conduct Policies
As we begin the new academic year and welcome back individuals to campus and to the neighborhoods, it is important to remember the importance of complying with the Georgetown University Community Compact (“Community Compact”), the District of Columbia and the federal government, and the significant potential repercussions for those who violate these rules. We will only be successful in returning to campus if we all comply with the safety guidelines and acknowledge that our responsibilities do not end at the boundaries of our campus. Read more here.
