Student Resources During Virtual Learning
Vaccine Information
Please visit Georgetown’s Vaccine Information page for available information that will be updated regularly.
Academic Software
EndNote and RefWorks Comparison
Both EndNote and RefWorks are citation management software that allows users to find, store, and organize references, cite references from their collections, and share references with other platform users. Both are free to use through Georgetown Libraries.
Adobe Creative Suite
Adobe has made its Creative Suite product free through the end of May for all students, faculty, and staff.
- Anyone who needs access to it should submit a web ticket with the request from help.georgetown.edu.
- If there is a list of students that a particular department knows will need access to the creative suite, have the department email the list to computerpurchasehelp@georgetown.edu and UIS will add the students as a group.
Study Spaces
Biomedical Graduate Education (BGE) students will have access to study spaces in Dahlgren Memorial Library (DML). Study spaces must be reserved and are for individual use only (i.e., no group studying is permitted). BGE students can visit the DML reservation system directly.
BGE students will also be able to reserve study spaces in the Car Barn, Copley Formal Lounge, Blommer Science Library, Healey Family Center, Lauinger Library, and the Leavey Center. Visit maps.georgetown.edu to find building locations.
Students may make a six-hour reservation for a study space up to ten days in advance by visiting the Main Campus reservation system to browse each location for available hours. Some study spaces will be open for all approved students, some will only be open for undergraduate students and some will only be open for graduate students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
WeWork
For the Spring 2021 semester, Georgetown is thrilled to provide our domestic and international students with WeWork’s All Access Benefit, to launch on February 1, 2021. Students will receive an email in January with further information about how they can opt-in to indicate their interest in taking advantage of this opportunity. Only those undergraduate and graduate students (including medical, law, and nursing students) who are enrolled in spring courses (including Ph.D. students writing their dissertations) will be eligible for WeWork access.
Well-being during Virtual Learning Time
HoyaWell – Free Telemental Health Program
HoyaWell, a free telemental health program for all degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students. This service provides access to 24/7/365 telemental health services from anywhere in the United States at no cost to students.
Counseling and Psychiatric Service (CAPS) has moved Online
The Student Health Center and Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) no longer offer physical access but continue to offer virtual services to students. These virtual appointments allow you to check in with a clinician using secure video platforms. The consultations will offer you the ability to ask questions, get connected to needed resources, provide guidance about next steps during these difficult times, and thus begin the helping process.
All information shared with CAPS is confidential.
