Waitlists

The option to add yourself to the waitlist becomes available on November 23rd when general registration opens. More on waitlists here.

Hold Information

Check your record via GWeb regarding holds prior to your scheduled registration time. Any hold on your account will prevent access to registration. You can view any holds on your account by looking at: Student Records & Registration Menu > Student Records Information Menu > View Administrative Holds.

Make sure to check now and again in the days lead up to registration. Check early, and check often! More on holds here.

Upper Level Honors courses

Remember that if an Honors course is cross-listed, you can sign up for any open section. To ensure that the non-Honors section counts as an Honors requirement, please ask a Program Manager to submit a petition in Degree Map.

Fall Registration Advising

All honors students are encouraged to see a Program Manager before registration. Make sure you are prepared with a tentative course schedule using the Spring 2021 Schedule of Classes and Honors course descriptions when they become available. As new course information and revisions become available, we will update the website. Please re-check the information on the Schedule of Classes and the Honors site before you register to ensure that you’re up-to-date!

Unfortunately we won’t be able to meet in person for advising events and meetings, but please feel free to make a virtual appointment with us online: honorsprogram.gwu.edu/make-appointment. In addition to our regular 30 min time slots, we will also have 15 min slots available starting on November 9th until November 20th. 

As always, your peer advisor is a wonderful resource if you have questions about specific courses, professors, or anything you’d like advice on!
