Visiting Researcher Privileges
Unfortunately, due to limited availability, priority for the use of library research carrels is given to Georgetown faculty and graduate students. In general, office space is not available but Researchers are encouraged to make inquiries with their host department in the event an alternative arrangement is possible.
Visiting Researchers also have the opportunity to audit courses informally with the instructor's permission. For those who wish to audit courses on a formal basis or to enroll in a course for credit must make a formal application for "Special Student" status to The Graduate School. This application involves completing a standard Georgetown University Graduate School admissions application, submitting all required documentation such as undergraduate transcripts, letters of recommendation and, if appropriate, TOEFL scores, and paying the then current admissions application fee. Because it is assumed that the primary objective of the Visiting Researchers affiliation is research, it is anticipated that such requests will be rare.
Those primarily interested in pursuing non-degree Graduate course work (350 or higher) at Georgetown should contact our School for Summer and Continuing Education at (202) 687-5942. For those wishing to formally audit a course or take a course for credit, the current per-credit charge is applicable in addition to the Visiting Researchers fee; the Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 the per credit academic fee is $1,392 or $4,176 per three-credit course. For a complete listing of our course offerings, please visit the University Registrar's web site.
With the use of their GoCard, researchers are provided with free access to the University's transportation (GUTS) shuttles, two of which provide direct route metro stations -- Rosslyn Metro in Virginia (across the river in Rosslyn) and Dupont Circle in Washington, DC. A map of the Washington, DC metro system may be found on the WMATA web site.
For an additional fee, Visiting Researchers are eligible to use the University's athletic facilities located in the Yates Field House.
