After completing registration, you will receive a payment confirmation email including your placement test appointment. If you are unable to attend at the appointed time, you must contact Regan Carver at 202-687-4592 or regan.carver@georgetown.edu immediately to make alternative arrangements.

Please note that your enrollment will not be complete until you take your placement test.

The Evening & Weekend English program reserves the right to move students to a different level of a course if placement test results or first class diagnostic testing warrants it. All such moves will be completed in the first week of classes with no additional charge to the student.
