New Non-Degree Students

Individuals who wish to take courses at GW without entering a degree program must first apply online for non-degree admission through the GWU Office of Non-Degree Students (ONDS).  On the application, students should select, "Off Campus Program".  Once the online application has been completed and you have been issued a GWID number, return to this site to complete steps 1- 4 as listed below.  Non-Degree tuition rates apply.  See also the GSEHD Student Handbook for regulations regarding non-degree coursework.


Registration Process: All Students

STEP FOUR:  New Student Orientation:   First time students should check their GW email accounts on the first day of classes (the week prior to the first day of classes in the Summer session) for important course start-up and orientation information.  See specific dates above.  ETL Orientation provides information on how to access course materials and use the communications tools that are central to BlackBoard (Bb), our course delivery system.  It allows time for students to familiarize themselves with their new learning environment.   Detailed information about the orientation process can be located at ETL Orientation.   Students may log on to BlackBoard by going to:  http://blackboard.gwu.edu.
