Student Exchange and Study Abroad Agreements

Student Exchange Agreement: an agreement between the University and a partner  institution to allow students to pursue a for-credit semester or year at the partner institution.  Students pay tuition and fees to the home institution.  The number of students exchanged is based on a ratio established when the agreement is negotiated and will be balanced within two years.

Study Abroad/Provider Agreement: an agreement between Georgetown and a partner institution or a study abroad provider which allows Georgetown students to study abroad on the partner or provider’s study abroad program.
