BY MONTH
FALL 2023: YOUR JOURNEY TO GW
Placing your deposit is the first step in your journey to GW. This fall as you prepare for your first day of class on
Jan. 16, these are your must-do action items to complete by month to help you have a smooth transition to college.
Visit your student portal to help you complete these tasks.
FALL
➔
THROUGHOUT FALL
BY NOV. 6
■ Work on the Pre-Orientation Online Module
■ Claim your GW Identity (i.e., UserID/GW email)
This module must be completed by Jan. 6 as you will
need the information learned in this module during
a mandatory first-year group advising webinar. Note:
While this module will be available in the fall, you
are not able access the module until after you have
created your GW email.
You will need your UserID/GW email to search for
a roommate, apply for housing, register for classes
and much more. Your UserID starts with the letter G
followed by an eight-digit number. After Nov. 6, we
will no longer email your personal email address.
Check your GW email often (we suggest daily). Your
GW email is the primary means by which GW offices
and units will communicate with you while you are
enrolled at GW.
■ Register with Disability Support Services
(if applicable)
If you would like support to accommodate a disability
for your classes or living on campus, you can register
with Disability Support Services (DSS). Should your
situation change, you may register with DSS at any
point while enrolled at GW.

■ Register for First-Year On-Campus Housing
All first- and second-year students are required
to live on campus with a few exceptions for local
commuters, etc. The registration process starts midOctober. Students will receive instructions directly
from Campus Living & Residential Education. The
registration and room assignment process takes
about a month. Students will receive their housing
assignment mid-December.
Note: You will need your UserID and GW email
to complete the following action items.
■ Register for New Student Orientation
You must register for new student orientation by Dec.
21 so we can reserve your space and assign you a
small group. During registration you will also select a
District Connections trip to attend during orientation
week. Reminder: In-person orientation is Jan. 14 and
make-up orientation is Jan. 20.
■ Submit Mandatory Health Immunizations
The District of Columbia Immunization Law requires
that all enrolled students under the age of 26 provide
proof of certain immunizations prior to registration.
Deadline to submit immunizations via the Student
Health Center medical portal is Jan. 4.
