Campus Access for Visitors

At a self check-in kiosk, visitors follow these steps to check-in:

Step 1: On the Welcome page, select SIGN IN. Step 2: On the Choice page, select one of the four choices that matches the purpose of your visit: Visitor with Appointment Walk-In Visitor Contractor Reprint Badge Step 3: On the About You page, enter your email address, name, and company. Step 4: On the Destinations page, type in your destination and estimated departure time and click NEXT. Step 5: Retrieve your visitor badge from the printer and present it with a photo identification to the security officer at the desk before proceeding to your destination.

No, event and conference attendees, including members of the media, are not required to use a check-in kiosk. They should proceed to the designated event check-in table. Please contact the event host for check-in instructions.

No, guests to the E.B. Williams Law Library must go through a separate check-in process at the library’s security desk. The procedure is in place to maintain the library’s restricted access, ensuring that only authorized users can enter. For more information regarding who is eligible to use the library, visit https://www.law.georgetown.edu/library/who-may-use/

To avoid bottlenecks at the self check-in kiosks, we have established a pre-registration process for group visitors. Hosts can initiate the process so that guests can complete their registration beforehand and simply scan their QR codes at one of the kiosks when they arrive, saving time and minimizing contact with the iPad kiosk.

If you are a Law Center staff or faculty member hosting a group of more than five external visitors, please submit a request through the Pre-Registration Setup for Georgetown Law Visitors form to set up group invitation and pre-registration at least one week prior to the visit date.

The pre-registration process eliminates the need for visitors to input their information at a kiosk. Here is a summary of the process:

The Law Center host initiates guest pre-registration by submitting a request through the Pre-Registration Setup for Georgetown Law Visitors form. This action automatically generates a Service Desk ticket within the system. An IST technician then assigns the ticket to a system administrator of the Sign-In Enterprise (SIE) application. The SIE administrator proceeds to upload the visitor list or directly input visitor details into the system. Subsequently, guests receive an email invitation enabling them to pre-register their upcoming visits. Concurrently, the host is notified through email whenever a guest completes their registration. Upon completion of pre-registration, guests will receive a personalized QR code specific to their visit. When guests arrive, they can scan their QR codes at a check-in kiosk, which subsequently prints their day stickers.

Multi-day guests have two options for checking in using the kiosk. They can either pre-register and utilize a QR code for check-in, or they can check-in at the kiosk on a daily basis.

Law Center hosts wishing to pre-register multi-day guests by submitting a request through the Pre-Registration Setup for Georgetown Law Visitors form to set up the pre-registration at least one week prior to the visit date. It’s important to keep in mind that the visitor badges provided to multi-day guests are stickers with limited durability. As a result, guests will require a new sticker for each day of their visit. Regardless of the chosen option, guests will need to use a kiosk each day to print a new badge. The badge will prominently display the estimated departure time for that particular day.

Visitors can easily print a replacement badge by using a check-in kiosk. On the Welcome page, select SIGN IN and then proceed to the Selection page where the Reprint Badge option is available.
