Safety. Dignity. Belonging.

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown values the dignity of all members of the university community, regardless of immigration status. We are a university in the heart of the nation’s capital and believe in educating the whole person through exposure to different faiths, cultures and beliefs. Our undocumented students are integral members of our community, and we remain deeply committed to ensuring they are supported as they pursue their education here at Georgetown.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions welcomes applications from interested students across the country and the world. All candidates for admission should submit the Georgetown Application and Application Supplement, regardless of country of citizenship, immigration status or where the student resides or attends high school. Please note that all information provided on the application is treated with care and discretion. Immigration status does not have an impact on the admissions process.

Undocumented Student Services (USS) provides navigational accompaniment, legal resources and social and emotional connections to support the safety, dignity and belonging of students in liminal statuses on Georgetown’s campuses. 

Currently enrolled students may email undocuhoyas@georgetown.edu to learn about available legal, financial and wellness resources that meet their specific needs.

Resources may include:

  • Accompaniment to navigate the matrixed systems of higher education as a first-generation limited income (FGLI) student in a liminal status; 
  • Speaking privately and informally with someone who understands the impacts of immigration status on families, academics, wellness and career; 
  • Guidance and resources for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness;
  • Access to free legal consultations (e.g., adjustment of status, TPS and DACA renewals, advanced parole); 
  • Connections to non-employment-based learning opportunities and networking
  • Community building programs and events; 
  • UndocuAlly Training for student and faculty groups to support a culture of understanding.
