The Georgetown Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 is your one‑stop guide to every deadline from Georgetown enrollment and registration windows, tuition payment due dates, and course add/drop periods to university holidays and final exam schedules.
By consulting the Georgetown University academic calendar, Hoyas can lock in GU term dates, plan around the Georgetown exam schedule, track priority registration deadlines, and never miss the last day to withdraw with a “W,” ensuring smooth academic and financial planning at Georgetown.
Georgetown’s academic year follows a traditional semester system, supplemented by flexible summer offerings:
- Fall and Spring Semesters each span roughly 15 weeks (14 instructional weeks + one week of finals), with built‑in Reading Days and mid‑term breaks.
- Summer Sessions include multiple formats, Session I and Session II (each about 8 weeks), and a Full Summer Session (15 weeks), each with its own registration, add/drop, and billing deadlines for accelerated or makeup coursework.
Whether you’re mapping out a 15‑week semester course load, squeezing in an 8‑week Summer Session module, or locking in your classes during Priority Registration, the Georgetown Academic Calendar 2026‑2027 keeps every key date and every deadline right at your fingertips so you can focus on thriving in the Hoya community.
