GU Experience
If you are accessing the Internet from the Hilltop or Capitol Campus, students should ensure they are connected to SaxaNet when accessing GU Experience. GuestNet and other on campus networks will have limited functionality and slower access speeds. Students should also disable any ad blocking software on their devices which might also affect functionality and performance.
At Georgetown University, we are committed to the modernization of our technical solutions. We are excited to announce the launch of a new self-service portal, GU Experience, which will be the central location for students and faculty to view course schedules, manage course registration, access student account information, enter and view grades, and request refunds and transcripts. This platform will eventually replace the current MyAccess system, offering a more accessible and user-friendly interface. This transition marks the initial phase of our endeavor to modernize the Georgetown experience by moving to Banner SaaS (Software as a Service). The SaaS version has a completely redesigned self service entry point with Ellucian Experience – it is modern, mobile adaptive, and user friendly. SaaS also runs integrations off a new API product, Ethos, which will allow Georgetown to be more flexible and adaptable moving forward.
