Much like the Dean's Office, your homes must flurries of activity as you prepare your sons and daughters for their arrival at Georgetown. Admidst your preparations, we ask that you make note of a very important deadline. New Georgetown students are expected to select and submit their fall course requests by 5:00 PM EST on Friday, July 27.
Recently, we mailed your sons and daughters a Guide to Preregistration for New Students, which will walk them through the various steps involved in selecting a schedule of courses for the fall. Click here to visit our Guide to Preregistration for New Students 2012 on our website.
We encourage you to sit down to read these materials as a family. Explore Georgetown College’s General Education requirements and discuss which requirements might be good fits for the first semester – theology, philosophy, humanities and writing, history, social science, math, science, and foreign language. Consider which combinations of courses provide balance, allowing your sons and daughters to pursue established areas of interest while seeking out unchartered disciplines.

WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL OF FOREIGN SERVICE!
The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS) Dean’s Office is delighted to welcome your son/daughter to Georgetown University this fall! The undergraduate program of the SFS, Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS), places a unique emphasis on advising. The mission of the BSFS Program Dean’s Office is to guide your students’ academic and personal development within the greater mission of the SFS and the University. We do this by providing customized advice and services to your students, connecting their interests with their academic backgrounds, academic and non-academic opportunities, and faculty expertise.
Upon matriculation, every new student is assigned one of six associate and assistant deans. Once a student selects a major, advising becomes more specialized in order to assist students in constructing a coherent plan of study within their area of concentration. Each major has a curricular dean, responsible for administering the major program and advising students on all matters relating to major study. The curricular dean begins working with students on the major declaration process during the second year and continues advising until graduation. Curricular deans have specialized knowledge of their major programs and are familiar with course offerings, faculty specializations, and appropriate overseas study programs.
The deans are also prepared to assist students with challenging personal experiences that may arise during their time here, and can refer students to a variety of on-campus support resources, ranging from academic tutoring to health care provision. We urge you to encourage your children to contact their deans anytime they require assistance or have questions about life at Georgetown.
We at the SFS strongly believe that the relationships among faculty, students, and administrators should provide students with a meaningful experience that they will be able to reflect upon years after graduation. We look forward to welcoming you and your son/daughter in a few weeks.
