Registration

Fall 2024 Classes

April 1, 2024 to August 29, 2024

During this time, GWeb registration and Waitlists are BOTH active.

  • All registration related requests will be handled online via the Registration Google Form, where you will be able to fill out and upload an RTF-Classic form. The Google Form will open on March 25, 2024 and close on August 29, 2024.
  • The only circumstances for which an RTF-Classic will be signed are: 
    • If you need to repeat a course for credit.
    • If you are waiting for a prerequisite credit for a GW ECON course to transfer from another institution. In this case, you must attach some evidence of course completion (e.g. transcript) and the preapproved signed transfer credit form to the Registration Google Form. Prerequisites must be completed before RTF-Classic forms can be signed, so please do not fill out the Registration Google Form until you have completed your course.
  • Students can email the Academic Department Administrator ([email protected]) with inquiries, but any requests for signatures would have to go through the Registration Google Form. Requests will be processed in the order they are received. RTFs will be signed electronically and emailed directly to the student’s advising office for processing. Please allow at least 2 business days for responses (possibly longer during peak pre-registration period)
  • RTFs will only be signed by the Academic Department Administrator. Course instructors will not sign RTFs. If a course is closed, the RTF does not guarantee enrollment, it only puts the student on the digital waitlist.

August 30, 2024 to September 8, 2024

During this time, GWeb registration is active and the waitlist is cleared.

  • If you need to enroll in a course with an RTF-Classic, please email the Academic Department Administrator ([email protected]) and state your reasons for needing an RTF to enroll. The Academic Department Administrator will review your request and notify you whether an RTF can be processed.
  • During this time, the only circumstances for which an RTF will be signed are if the course has open seats (an RTF will not be signed for closed courses) and:
    • If you need to repeat a course for credit. 
    • If you are waiting for a prerequisite credit for a GW ECON course to transfer from another institution. In this case, you must email evidence of course completion (e.g. transcript) and the preapproved signed transfer credit form to [email protected]. Prerequisites must be completed before forms can be signed, so please do not request an RTF signature until you have completed your course. 
  • Students can still continuously monitor GWeb to see if a seat opens in a full course they are looking to join.

After September 8, 2024

During this time, GWeb registration is no longer active.

  • If you are requesting late enrollment into a course, please contact the instructor first. If the course still has open seats AND the instructor grants you permission, the instructor needs to email the Academic Department Administrator ([email protected]) directly, and CC you, stating that you can enroll. You will then submit a completed RTF-Classic form to the Academic Department Administrator for signature.
  • Instructors only grant permission for late enrollment in rare cases, and would not be allowed to go over stated course capacity. No RTFs will be signed for full courses. Students have until February 9, 2024 to add a course with an RTF form.

 

Summer 2024 Classes

All RTF requests for summer courses should be emailed to the Academic Department Administrator ([email protected]). In your email, be sure to include:

  • Your name & GWID
  • Your reason for requesting an RTF
  • A completed RTF-Classic Form

If you are looking to take a summer economics course at another university, please follow the instructions on our Transfer Credit Approval Requests page. Note that prerequisites must be completed before forms can be signed, so please do not request an RTF signature until you have completed your prerequisite course.
