New Entering Students
New entering students at Georgetown face specific challenges when it comes to registering and paying their student bill. As a new entering student you will be mailed a number of important documents used in completeing your registration. Your NetID and NetID password are mailed by the Registrar's Office and are used among other things to access our web-based services on MyAccess. Your student bill is available online through MyAccess the first week in July. If you do not have a NetID and password by July, please contact the Registrar's Office. Parents, find out more about accessing your child's bill online and the Privacy Act.
Your registration is not complete without complete settlement of your student account.
All new entering students are charged full-time tuition. Graduate students, if you plan on enrolling in less than 12 credit-hours, you should pay the per credit-hour rate. Your student account will be updated with your registration action.
Student Health Insurance is also charged to all new entering students. For more information, click here or visit the Student Health Insurance website.
New entering undergraduates will be charged for the 14 meal board plan. If you wish to change your board plan, please do so online through MyAccess. For inquiries, please contact Dining Services.
New entering undergraduates will also be charged a generic room charge to your student account until housing is assigned in early August. Your student account will be updated as the Housing Office completes this procedure. Click here for a list of specific housing rates.
For other inquiries about charges on your bill, please see our billing information page.
The Office of Student Accounts will be open the Saturday of New Student Orientation (August 29th, 2009) from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm to assist new students with payment, set-up for online services, or any other questions and concerns.
Registration is September 1st for the 2009 Fall Semester and January 13th for the 2009-2010 Spring Semester. Any student account not settled in full by the end of registration may be charged penalties for non-payment and will be subject to service charges on any unpaid balance. Read more about Late Fees and Service Charges.
Returning Students
Returning students at Georgetown are expected to begin registration during the pre-registration process that takes place in November for spring semester registration and in April for fall semester registration.
If you have an outstanding balance of $2000 or more as of November 1st, you will be blocked from the pre-registration and registration process for the spring until your balance is paid in full. If your outstanding balance is $100 or more as of April 1st, you will be blocked from the pre-registration and registration process for the fall until your balance is paid in full.
Tuition and other charges will be billed to you based on your registration action. If you add, drop, or change courses after pre-registration, please review your online account statement to ensure your balance due has not changed.
