University Policies & Procedures
In choosing to live in the campus community, Hoyas
have tremendous opportunities to get to know students,
faculty, and staff in a more holistic way.
This community has established expectations and
rights for those living in it. We encourage
residents to take time to learn the expectations of this
great community they are invited to call home.
Student Code of Conduct
The Student Code of Conduct established expectations
for all Georgetown students. The Office of
Residence Life assists in enforcing these policies in
the residence halls and apartments. Our student
staff document alleged violations and our professional
staff adjudicate many cases that occur in their
buildings.
Incident Report Process
The complete and official outline of incident report
processes is available in the
Student Code of Conduct. Residents should know
that the student staff (RAs and Hds and ACs) in Residence
Life simply document what appear to be violations of the
Code. Decisions about whether the incident merits
judicial action or whether a student is responsible are
made by our professional staff only (HDs and ACs), in
conjunction with
The
Office of Student Conduct.
Residential Judicial Council
The RJC is a student-run organization that hears
cases of alleged violations by peers in the Georgetown
residence halls and apartments. RJC
"seeks not to create
community for students at Georgetown, but rather
empowers students to conceive it themselves."
Housing
Agreement
The Housing Occupancy Agreement, produced by the
Office of Housing Services, outlines many expectations
of students living on campus. This document
addresses such issues as time for move-in/out, payment
for living on campus, responsibility for the condition
of facilities, and rights reserved by the university for
relocating students.
Recycling on Campus
Georgetown Recycles manages recycling in all the
residence hall and apartments on campus. Visit
their website to learn details about how to recycle on
campus.
Guest Policy
Because the residence halls and apartments are
primarily space for students to live and learn in an
academic environment, Georgetown upholds expectations
about guest visits.

RJC
is just one example of how residents create and uphold
expectations for their own communities. Each floor
creates a Community Living Agreement.
