Spring NSO Pre-Arrival To-Dos
What to do before you arrive to campus…
We want to help you feel confident and comfortable from the very first day you arrive on campus. On this page, incoming students will find a link to view their New Student Checklist, along with an up-to-date archive of New Student Newsletters.
New Student Checklist
The New Student Checklist is your go-to resource for tracking important tasks and deadlines as you prepare for the semester. While some items are required, others are highly recommended to help you transition smoothly into life as a Hoya.
You can access the checklist on CampusGroups, Georgetown’s student engagement platform. Simply log in with your NetID and password to view and check off completed tasks. We recommend following the checklist in order to stay on track.

Pre-Arrival Modules
To ensure your safety, comfort, and confidence on campus, NSO and many other essential Georgetown departments have prepared a handful of Pre-Arrival Modules for you to complete before moving on campus in August. These modules will open on November 1st, and will need to be completed by January 5th, 2026 at 11:59pm. They can be accessed on your Georgetown Canvas Dashboard. Please go to canvas.georgetown.edu for instruction on how to access your Canvas Dashboard, and contact nso@georgetown.edu with any questions.
New Student Newsletters
As you prepare for your arrival at Georgetown, you’ll receive weekly email updates from New Student Orientation (NSO) and campus partners. These newsletters, sent to your Georgetown email, will highlight key action items, important deadlines, and campus resources to help you transition smoothly to life on the Hilltop.
Be sure to check your Georgetown email regularly to stay informed and on track. Below is an up-to-date list of all New Student Newsletters sent so far.
If you have any questions about the newsletters, feel free to reach out to the Orientation team at nso@georgetown.edu—we’re happy to help!
