Current GW Students
We encourage you to consult with your advisor prior to making course selections.
In addition to on-campus course offerings, some online courses, summer abroad programs and summer institutes may satisfy major requirements.
Register for summer courses using the GWeb Information System or review additional details about summer registration from the Office of the Registrar.
Visiting Students
Visiting (non-degree) students and professionals are eligible to take GW summer courses, but must first apply as a non-degree student.
Once the registration period is open and you are enrolled as a non-degree student, you may use your GWID to register for summer courses through the GWeb Information System.
Visiting students are advised to check home institution policies concerning the transferability of GW course credits before registering. If your home institution requires a syllabus to transfer a course, please contact the department in which the course is offered.
