Your responsibilities

• The information provided here serves as a guide.
• It is your responsibility to research whether the partner provides appropriate courses for your degree programme.
• Even if there are no restrictions on your degree subject, this does not mean that there are appropriate courses for you.

The Office of the University Registrar handles the registration process for Main Campus undergraduate and graduate students. Detailed instructions on how to add, drop, or withdraw from a course can be found on the registrar's website. 

You can find the Course catalogue below:

Students must take between 12-15 credits per semester, and may take courses in a variety of disciplines across the university. All courses must be taken for credit, and students are not eligible for research tutorials, independent studies, or taking a class pass/fail. 

As an exchange student you may select any undergraduate courses (number 100-400). Edinburgh students normally take courses numbered 300 or above. 

**Please be aware, there may not be an up-to-date course catalogue available at this exchange destination. Please use the information available to get an idea about what you can study while on exchange**

University accommodation

On-campus housing availability is limited; however, the Office of Residential Living will try their best to accommodate all students who wish to live on campus. Students will receive notification of their housing assignment via email prior to arrival. The housing assignment process can take some time, so please be patient. Housing costs will also be communicated at this time; however, roommate information will not yet be available. Please be aware that single rooms in on-campus housing are only available for students with documented medical reasons. 

Once students are notified about the move in date they should plan accordingly as moving in earlier than that date is not permitted. Students planning to arrive before this date should make other accommodation arrangements. On-campus housing requires that you provide your own bedding and towels. 

Due to limited availability, there is a chance that students requesting Georgetown accommodation may be placed in a new apartment-style university residence hall in the East End neighborhood of Washington DC, approximately 6 km east of Georgetown’s Hilltop campus. Free university shuttle-bus transportation runs from this residence hall to Georgetown's Hilltop campus, with the shuttle running frequently throughout the day Monday - Saturday. Public Transportation via the Metro and Metro bus will also be available. 

Private accommodation
