summer

Registration opens March 1, 2016.

1. Work or intern. Courses are scheduled throughout the day and evening, offering students the greatest flexibility with work, internships, and other summer activities.
2. Earn credit faster. Students can earn 3 credits in just 6 weeks. Classes meet more frequently than during the traditional school year, offering an intensive academic experience.
3. Get ahead. Students can make progress toward graduation requirements or satisfy prerequisites for an upcoming semester.
4. Special "summer only" programs. Students may choose from special programs that are only offered in the summer, including GW Summer Institutes & Short-Term Abroad.
5. Online options: anytime, anywhere. Online courses are taught by innovative faculty, provide high-caliber content, and use the latest interactive technologies.

6. Smaller classes. Summer classes provide an ideal environment for students to focus exclusively on a challenging subject with increased student-faculty interaction. It's also easier to enroll in courses that are normally in high demand.

7. Save money with multiple course credit programs. Summer institutes offer an in-depth and practical learning experience, and many combine multiple courses offered at a substantially discounted rate.

8. Summer in the city. Free concerts, Screen on the Green, Independence Day fireworks, extended museum hours, or just a lazy float around the Tidal Basin — D.C. features a wealth of opportunities to complement summer study.

Published on Leave a comment on How to Contact Your Academic Advisor

As of June 15, all academic advising services are available to you as an incoming Elliott School graduate student. This means you can get in touch with your advisor before classes begin, even if you aren't in DC!

If you have general questions, consider Online Advising on Tuesdays, 11am -1pm. During this time you can chat with an academic advisor to get immediate answers to your questions. Please note that, while you may be able to access the chat at any time, advisors are only available during designated online advising hours.

If you have more detailed questions, consider scheduling an appointment with your advisor. If you're not local, you can schedule a phone appointment. Alternatively, you can email your question to your advisor. We try to respond to emails within 1-2 business days, but during busy times (like orientation and registration) it may take us a little longer to get back to you.

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

Attention students who began programs this spring: Your Plan of Study is due March 16th.

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 March 16 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 advising@gwu.edu or fax it to 202-994-9537.
  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 March 16 deadline will be returned to students before Fall 2015 registration begins.

Failure to submit a completed plan of study, signed by your Program Director, by March 16th will result in an administrative hold on your account which will prevent you from registering for Fall 2015 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.
