Spring 2017 Registration Guide

This is not a drill, people. Spring 2017 registration is upon us! But before you can register for next semester’s classes, you have some housekeeping to do.  Find out how to get your holds removed and where to find the best courses for you next semester.
Registration Schedule
*** Thursday, November 3: Freshmen & sophomores (Privileged Registration)

Registration is open from 7AM-10PM.
Upperclassmen, if you’re not sure when you register, you can check your earned credit hours in GWeb using the following path: Student Records & Registration Menu > Student Records Information Menu > Transcripts > View Unofficial Transcripts. Make sure you’re looking at overall hours earned for the accurate total!
Urgent 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! BADLY TIMED HOLDS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU:
*Please note: Sophomores in the Columbian College can meet with an Honors program advisor to have their holds lifted. Freshmen must follow directions from their POD advisors.*
Spring Registration Advising
All honors students are encouraged to see a Honors Program Officer before registration. Make sure you are prepared with a tentative course schedule using the Spring 2017 Schedule of Classes and Honors course descriptions. 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!
Please use our wide selection of dates to your advantage – plan on meeting with an advisor at a time that is most practical given your registration date. Students may discuss registration (and remove an advising hold, if applicable) by one of the following options:

1. Attend an advising party:
   Friday, October 28th from 12 to 2 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
   Monday, October 31st from 2 to 4 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
   Wednesday, November 2nd from 11 to 1 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
2. Make an appointment with an advisor online at http://honorsprogram.gwu.edu/make-appointment

Cross-Listed Courses
Some upper-level Honors courses are cross-listed with departmental course numbers. If an Honors course you want to take fills up, check to see if it’s cross-listed! You may still be able to enroll in the departmental section of the class. Just make sure to email Catherine or Mary to let them know so they can update DegreeMap, which won’t automatically give you Honors credit for the course.
