Updates to the 2025-2026 Handbook

On September 26, 2025, a revised Student Handbook was published, clarifying program requirements in the Graduate Programs chapter and to updates the definition of “Sexual Assault,” specifically the subcategories “Fondling” and “Other Sex Offenses,” in Appendix A of the Georgetown University Sexual Misconduct Policy to maintain required consistency with modifications to definitions in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s uniform crime reporting system’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), as required by 34 CFR 106.30.
