Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies

Admissions

Application Guide

Students can apply to The School of Continuing Studies using our online application: https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=scsgtu

After creating an account you will want to fill out your personal information then be sure to select which program you are applying to. After filling out all the required program information an applicant can then add recommender information as well.  Please note: All recommendations supplied to SCS will be considered confidential. Students wishing to view copies of their recommendations should contact their recommenders directly.  Once that is completed a student can pay the application fee and submit their application.

All required documents and items aside from official transcripts can be submitted online through our application system Apply Yourself.

Admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis, the earlier a student applies and submits all required documentation, the earlier they will be notified of an admissions decision.

Tips for Applying:

  1. Apply Early for the semester you wish to enroll. You do not need to wait until the official published deadline, and collecting the necessary documents (recommendations, official transcripts, writing samples) can take a fair amount of time.  All coursework completed in a higher education setting must have been earned at an accredited college or university recognized by the U. S. Department of Education (http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/). 
  2. Check your status. This can be done by contacting the Office of Admissions or via your online application.
  3. Focus your essay on goals, accomplishments and why this degree/program will benefit you.
  4. We are looking for a balance of academic and professional skills with motivation and dedication to succeed. Showing this through the different areas of your application will make you a stronger applicant.
