Class Times
Classes are generally held from 8:30am – 5:00pm, Mondays through Fridays, unless otherwise noted in the course syllabus and schedule. Instructors reserve the right to make changes to the class schedule when necessary. The fall class schedule for incoming students will be shared with students closer to the start of the semester.
Fall Registration for Incoming Students
All students register for courses via the GWeb Informational System. Course registration numbers (CRNs) and instructions for registration will be forwarded to you by email over the summer. The program strongly encourages early registration as this will reduce delays in financial aid disbursement and avoid the possibility of being charged a late registration fee. If you are applying for financial aid, you must be registered for classes before a financial aid award can be disbursed.
Purchasing Textbooks and Course Materials
Over the summer, you will receive an email from the program with a list of textbooks required for the fall. As soon as you receive this information, we encourage you to purchase your textbooks before the start of the semester. Some courses may require additional items for purchase such as software or journal articles. This information will be made available on the course syllabus or BlackBoard.
Learn About the Blackboard Classroom
Blackboard is the platform for syllabi, course-related materials, assignments, and assessments for each instructor. Before classes begin, students are encouraged to login to Blackboard and review the Blackboard Student Guides, which are located in the upper right hand corner of the course administration homepage. Here, students learn how to navigate the Blackboard environment through several instructional videos. Enrolled students may access these guides at any time.
Review the GW Code of Academic Integrity
The GW Code of Academic Integrity governs all students at the university and is a symbol of the commitment to academic honesty, mutual respect, and moral integrity that the GW community values and nurtures. As a new student at the university, your entry into the GW community is an agreement to these standards and principles.
