Dear Students,
We look forward to marking Georgetown Day 2023 this Friday, April 28 and celebrating our community in a way that everyone can enjoy and be proud of.
We offer our thanks to the Georgetown Program Board (GPB) for planning an exciting line-up of events throughout Springfest week, and they will be sharing a final schedule by email tomorrow.
Please review the following key policies and reminders to ensure the health, safety and well-being of the Georgetown community and our neighbors:
- Friday, April 28, is a Class Day: Faculty expect full participation in scheduled classes. If you are enrolled in a class scheduled to meet, you should attend class, unless your professor has made other arrangements.
- Treating Staff and Others with Respect: Students approached by staff or other university employees, must 1) follow their directives, and 2) treat all community members with respect, courtesy and dignity. Students who do not abide by these values will be referred through the conduct process. If found responsible for violating the Code of Student Conduct, students will be subject to disciplinary sanctions in accordance with the Office of Student Conduct’s Sanctioning Guide.
- Limited Residence Hall Access: From Thursday – Saturday, GOCard access to all residence halls will be restricted to residents to ensure the safety of our community.
- Limited Access to Village A Rooftops and Alumni Square: To ensure fire safety at all times, there will be designated security monitoring entry and exit points to Village A and Alumni Square and enforced capacity limitations, coordinated by GUPD and Residential Living. Village A and Alumni Square residents will be able to access their residences normally.
- You Are Responsible for the Actions of Your Guests: If an individual at your residence or property causes harm to another person or property, or otherwise violates the Code of Student Conduct, you will be held responsible, whether or not you invited the guest.
- No Glass Bottles: Please do not purchase any beverages in glass bottles, as they can be dangerous when discarded or broken. Glass bottles may be confiscated.
