Probation

The general rule is that students may not study abroad while on academic, housing, or disciplinary probation.

Academic probation

Students who have been placed on academic probation for the semester they plan to study abroad will not be permitted to study abroad. 

Students placed on academic probation for the semester before they hope to study abroad should consult the curricular dean about their eligibility for study abroad.

Housing or disciplinary probation

Georgetown students are expected to comply with all rules for student conduct, as outlined in the Georgetown University "Student Handbook," while overseas. Students who have violated the code of conduct at Georgetown must make a special effort to demonstrate that they plan to abide by it while abroad. 

If you are on probation, or you have a record of past violations, you should see your study abroad adviser and your dean well before the application deadline. If you are placed on probation after your application has been submitted, you need to inform the study abroad adviser and the dean immediately, since your nomination for study abroad may be in jeopardy.
