The following academic regulations for the undergraduate schools are informed by the University's philosophy of a liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person. Academic life at Georgetown challenges students to explore, inquire, and reflect in an intellectual environment that fosters respect for others. The Undergraduate Honor System established in 1997, based on this principle of respect, holds students to high standards of personal and academic conduct.
Georgetown's strong academic standards are also reflected in its overseas study programs that require students to matriculate directly into a foreign university. Through the rigor of its academic programs, high standards of integrity, and its international and intercultural focus, the University seeks to prepare students to be active citizens of their community and of the world.
The following academic regulations apply to all students of the undergraduate schools of Georgetown University. All undergraduate students are responsible for being thoroughly familiar with the regulations and requirements set forth in this section of the Bulletin, as well as the Handbook of each individual school and the Student Handbook. Ignorance of the rules described below will not be accepted as a justification for failing to act in accordance with them.
The undergraduate schools of the University reserve the right to change requirements regarding admission, graduation, degrees, tuition, fees, the arrangement of courses, and other regulations affecting the student body. Such policies may govern both new and old students and will be effective whenever determined by the particular school involved. The University also reserves the right to alter or discontinue any academic program or course of study.
Changes will be considered effective and an integral part of the Bulletin after notice of the change has been posted on the main bulletin board of that school. This places on each student the responsibility of keeping informed of the content of all notices so promulgated.
