What is my “GOCard”?

GOCard is your Georgetown ID card—the official identification card of Georgetown University. Your GOCard can provide you access to the Residence Halls, the Dining Hall, Academic Buildings, Yates Field House (Fitness Center), Computer Labs, Laundry Machines, and the Library. Your GOCard is very important. It is your key, your checkbook, and your identity. DON’T LOSE IT! (But if you do lose it, simply go to the GOCard office, located in Darnall Hall, G-3).

How do I get a “GOCard”/Official Georgetown ID Card?

The first step is to e-mail Georgtown’s GOCard office an electronic photo of you at GOCardphoto@georgetown.edu. Please include in the e-mail your Name, NetID and Georgetown ID number.

The GOCard office does have strict photo requirements, which you can find here: http://gocard.georgetown.edu/page/1242701625722. Once you arrive on campus, go to the GoCard office, located in Darnall Hall, room G-3, to pick up your “GoCard”

How do I reset my password?

In order to reset your password for your Georgetown account, please follow this link: https://netid- mgmt.georgetown.edu/passwd/ and follow the instructions to change your password. The first password that will be assigned to you after resetting your password is simply “gu” immediately followed by the last 6 digits of your GU ID number (which is listed on your GOCard). So if your GU ID is 830976575, your password will be gu976575. If you need assistance with this process or are unable to reset your password, e-mail Georgetown’s Office of University Information Services (UIS) at help@gerogetown.edu

How do I log in to my Georgetown email account?

Upon receiving your acceptance materials, you will find your net ID and GU ID attached to your acceptance letter. Your Net ID is what you use to log in to your Georgetown email, and your GU ID is just your Georgetown student identification number (also found on your GOCard). In order to log in to your Georgetown email, go to http://apps.georgetown.edu/. Simply enter your net ID for username. For your initial password, just enter “GU” immediately followed by the last 6 digits of your GU ID. In order to change your password, please go to https://netid-mgmt.georgetown.edu/passwd/ and follow the instructions.

Why does my Georgetown billing statement say that I owe tuition and other fees even though my university’s exchange agreement with Georgetown states that Georgetown is supposed to cover those expenses for me?

The University’s Office of Student Accounts bills every student for tuition, fees, insurance and Yates sports fee. The Office of Global Education (OGE) will make the payments for your benefits in early August (Fall and Full year) or late December (Spring). If you are not sure what your benefits are, please refer to your official acceptance letter. If you wish to make a payment for your room and meal plan prior to OGE paying for your benefits, you can just make a payment for that amount.

How do I make payments?

Wire payments should be wired to the Georgetown University Student Accounts Lockbox. It should include your name and GU ID. You should email the confirmation to student accounts at studentaccounts@georgetown.edu. Look below for more information regarding wiring
