Cable Television in Dorms
Students living on campus can learn all about cable television services at http://www.georgetown.edu/uis/video/. Cable is free until September 15, so be sure to sign up before then to avoid an interruption in service.
GOCard Transition Complete
Effective July 1, 2002 all University ID cards are made by the GOCard Office in the Leavey Center Clock Tower. The GOCard Office wishes to thank the staff of the ID Section of the Department of Public Safety for their dedicated service over the past quarter century. Their cooperation greatly simplified the transition of this function to the GOCard Office. The GOCard Office may be reached at (202) 687-2700 or gocard@georgetown.edu.
