OGS Admissions Process
Federal Regulations Governing Immigration Document Issuance
The Office of Global Services (OGS) relies on admissions offices and departments to ensure that a student has the required academic credentials and English language ability needed to succeed in their academic program. In order for OGS to issue a student immigration document, Georgetown must:
- Receive a written application from the student for admission to the school;
- Receive and evaluate the applicant’s academic credentials and level of English language ability, and ensure that the applicant meets all academic standards;
- Accept the student unconditionally into a face to face, full-time program of study which constitutes a “full course of study”*;
- Assess the student’s ability to meet all expenses during the course of study.
*OGS is prohibited from issuing an immigration document to any student who has been conditionally admitted to the University. A document may be issued only once the student has cleared all admission conditions.
