As we approach the end of the third week of classes, we’ve seen a substantial increase in the amount of Registration Transaction Forms (RTF) being turned in for processing, which means we’ve seen an increase in the amount of incomplete forms we receive.
Everyone knows that classes at GW can fill up quickly, and when online registration ends you have to factor in the chance that someone else’s RTF may reach the Registrar before yours. Here are some tips to make sure your RTF wins the race to Colonial Central:
- Include your correct GWID, name, and e-mail address. We need to know who you are, and the Registrar needs to know how to contact you in case there’s a problem with your form.
- CRNs are important. This is the unique identification number assigned to each course. If one number is off or missing, you’ll be registered for the wrong course or no course at all. Take the extra minute to locate the CRN.
- If you are attempting to add a course that is already full or has a 'departmental approval' restriction, obtain the professor or departments signature.
- Sign the form! Unless your advisor has told you otherwise, we can’t send forms that aren't signed by you.
- Bring the form to the front desk of the Office of Academic Advising and Student Services. Unlike the RTF-EZ, you can't take this form directly to the Registrar.
