Don't worry, the Georgetown McDonough Undergraduate Program Office is here to help and guide first-year students to any resources needed to help with the transition to college. Below is a list of resources to help first-years get started:

• If you are an new first-year or transfer student for the Fall 2012 semester, please carefully review the pre-registration booklet.
   
• If you are a first-year student expecting to earn college credit based on AP test scores, International Baccalaureate programs, or 13th-year programs, please download, complete and submit the Expected Advanced Credit Information Form, as per the instructions on the form.
