Pre-GU Classes

Georgetown University awards credit for up to four college classes taken before enrollment at GU if the classes meet the following conditions:

• the class at the other institution was a regular course offered at the college or university for its own degree candidates (and not at a high-school campus or via correspondence) and would count for the degree at that institution;
• the class is worth at least 3 semester credits (or five quarter credits);
• the student received a grade of “C” or better and has submitted an official transcript to the Dean’s Office;
• the class did not meet a High School graduation requirement

Credit for courses will be given if the course is similar to one offered at Georgetown; courses that are not similar will be considered on an individual basis.

Students who desire credit for classes taken before enrolling at Georgetown should provide their dean with course syllabi and an official transcript before the end of the first semester.

The course title and the credits of classes completed prior to enrollment at Georgetown appear on the transcript, but grades are not listed and do not impact the GU cumulative grade point average .
