■ Review and Submit Your FERPA Waiver
(if applicable)
GW abides by the federal government’s FERPA policy
(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974),
which requires the university to protect the privacy
of your student educational record. This means staff
and faculty can only talk to you, and not your parent,
guardian or other family member about your classes,
grades, financial aid, etc. If at any time, you would
like to give consent to allow a staff or faculty member
to talk to a family member about your educational
records, you will need to fill out a FERPA/Student
Consent Release Form. Note: this form can be
completed at any time while enrolled at GW.
■ Review Your Student eBill (tuition invoice)
and Grant an Authorized User Access to
Your Student Account
To help with your financial planning, the Office of
Student Accounts will email first-year students a
preliminary eBill, i.e., invoice for tuition, room and
board and fees (as applicable). A follow-up eBill will
be issued after class registration. You (the student) can
grant another authorized user access to your Student
Account who can make online payments on your behalf
such as a parent, guardian or another family member.
Add a new authorized user by logging into the eBill
system and clicking authorized users on the right menu
bar. Next enter the other individual’s email address
and that new authorized user will be sent a unique
encrypted password and link to your eBill. Note:
registering another individual as an authorized user
does not sign them up for any emails/lists from GW.
They will only receive information from Student
Accounts about the eBill.
