The Academic Affairs Policy Coalition works to make academics at Georgetown better for students. Because academics are such a broad and important part of life at Georgetown, the team often collaborates with other Policy Coalitions and groups on campus. 

WHAT WE’VE DONE SO FAR:

• Assessed student priorities for academic changes
• Created a proposal for the expansion of available course credit for internships
• Worked with registrar on registration
• Worked with the GUSA Mental Health Team to evaluate academic aspects of medical leaves of absences
• Discussed skill tagging for courses and created a proposal to initiate the skills tagging process

WHAT WE’RE PRIORITIZING FOR THE REST OF OUR TERM:

• Continue to work with the administration on our internship credit proposal 
• Facilitate student involvement and input in the registration process and any changes that may occur going forward
• Work to improve the process of medical leaves of absences based on academic concerns
• Continue with our skills tagging proposal and begin the process of tagging courses
• Work on new initiatives like textbook costs and study spaces

Feel free to email GUSA Academic Affairs Chair Sara Clark with questions, comments or concerns!
