Admission Guide
Georgetown College uses rolling admissions, so you can apply anytime after August 1st and receive a decision within two weeks. You need to submit your application through the college's website along with your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and either SAT or ACT scores. The application fee is waived if you apply online.
The nursing program requires a separate application process and maintains higher admission standards than the general college admission. Business and education programs also have additional requirements you must complete after enrollment.
Housing fills quickly despite the college's size, so submit your housing application immediately after your acceptance. First-year students live in traditional residence halls, while upperclassmen can choose from apartments and houses on campus. The college requires all students under 23 to live on campus unless they live with family locally.
New Student Orientation happens the week before classes start in both fall and spring. You'll complete placement testing, meet with your academic advisor, and register for courses during this time. The college assigns you an advisor based on your intended major, but you can change advisors easily if your plans shift.
Georgetown operates on a 4-1-4 academic calendar with a January interim term called "Interterm." During this month-long session, you take one intensive course, often with travel or hands-on components. Plan your finances accordingly since some Interterm courses require additional fees for travel or materials.
The campus sits in a small town 20 minutes north of Lexington. You'll want a car for grocery shopping and internships, though the college provides some transportation to nearby shopping areas. Campus parking is free and abundant compared to most colleges.
