Published on Leave a comment on GW Knowledge in Action Career Internship Fund
Summer 2018 Student Early Decision Applications Accepted Now Thru March 1

Students who will be interning in unpaid internships this summer are encouraged to apply for the Knowledge in Action Career Internship Fund (KACIF) program. KACIF supports GW students in pursuing high-quality, necessarily unpaid internships that foster their career exploration and enhance their academic program, while reducing the financial challenges associated with necessarily-unpaid internships.

Facilitated by the university's Career Services Council and funded through the generous support of alumni, parents and members of the Board of Trustees, KACIF provides grants ranging up to $3,000 to GW undergraduate and graduate students pursuing internships that are necessarily unpaid.

Early Decision Applications accepted February 15—March 1, 2018

General Decision Applications accepted April 1—April 15, 2018

Interested students can go to the KACIF website to review more information, including eligibility requirements and application instructions, and are invited to contact us at gwkacif@gwu.edu with any questions.

Published on Leave a comment on Completing Your Initial Plan of Study

Attention students who began programs this fall: Your Plan of Study is due October 15th.

The Plan of Study outlines the degree requirements for each Elliott School graduate program. This is an evolving document, and we expect you to make changes and updates to your plan as you progress through your program. But you should fill out the plan of study completely with your best guess of the classes you intend to take and the semesters in which you will take them.

The Process

  1. Locate your program’s plan of study on the Elliott School website under Forms & Applications.
  2. Review your program’s curriculum using the Elliott School website.
  3. Using blue or black ink, or typing directly into the form (save a copy to your desktop first), enter complete course information and the semester you intend to complete each course on the form in the appropriate space.
  4. Submit your form to your program director for review. If you plan to meet with your program director to discuss your plan, we strongly encourage doing this well in advance of the October 15 deadline.
  5. Deliver your completed plan of study, signed by your Program Director, to the Office of Academic Advising and Student Services (1957 E Street NW, Suite 302). You do not need an appointment to submit your plan of study (you are of course welcome to schedule an appointment with your academic advisor if you have questions). You can also email your Plan of Study to your academic advisor.
  6. Your plan of study will be reviewed by your Academic Advisor. Once reviewed, you will receive an electronic copy of your plan of study. This process can take up to 3 weeks. Therefore, we encourage you to complete your plan of study and submit it to Academic Advising in advance of the deadline. All plans received on or before the October 15 deadline will be returned to students before Spring 2016 registration begins.

Failure to submit a completed plan of study, signed by your Program Director, by October 15th will result in an administrative hold on your account which will prevent you from registering for Spring classes. Forms received after the deadline are subject to this hold. If the plan is received late, we will do our best to remove the hold as soon as possible, but this will not happen immediately.

Published on Leave a comment on Trending Question: I still need to make changes to my Spring 2014 schedule. Will I be charged fees?

Spring 2014 classes started today. If you still need to make changes to your schedule, you should read this post first.

Beginning on the first day of classes of each term, the Office of the Registrar’s late drop tuition penalty policy goes into effect. Essentially, if you drop a course (without adding the same number of credits in the same transaction) you will incur a late drop fee. The fee is based on when you drop the course(s):

If you drop a course… The % of tuition you’ll be refunded is…
Before the end of the first week of classes(by 10pm Sunday) 90%
Before the end of the second week of classes(by 10pm Sunday) 60%
Before the end of the third week of classes(by 5pm Friday) 40%
Before the end of the fourth week of classes(by 5pm Friday) 25%
After the fourth week of classes None

If you need to drop a course and add a course (courses must be an even exchange of credits), you’ll need to do so in the same registration transaction during the first 2 weeks of classes to avoid the late drop fees. We encourage students in this situation to consider using a Registration Transaction Form (RTF) to avoid technical glitches that may be experienced on GWeb. Here’s an example of how to complete the RTF for an even exchange of credits:

If you're thinking about taking summer classes, here are some things to consider:

  • Full-time status is considered six (6) credits during the summer (half-time is considered 3 credits).
  • Summer classes are condensed into 6, 8, 10, and 14-week sessions. This means in most cases you'll cover the same amount of material in less time.
  • GW offers an array of "Special Programs" during the summer, including Summer Institutes and Short-term Abroad programs.

Published on Leave a comment on Mandatory pre-registration for language exams is open.

Ready to take your foreign language proficiency exam? The pre-registration process and deadlines have been announced. The pre-registration process is required because it makes it possible to reserve space and faculty to administer the exams. If you don't pre-register, you won't be able to take the GW administered exam until Fall 2013.

Check your GW e-mail for links to the pre-registration website. If you didn't receive the e-mail, contact your academic advisor. Pre-registration closes February 11th.
