Transfer Student Checklist
 
  • Activate Your GW Email Address and NetID. Your NetID (the first part of your GW email address) is used for many online services including signing up for Colonial Inauguration and registering for classes. Once you activate your GW email address, be sure to check your account frequently for university messages.
  • Review Transfer Credit. If you are currently enrolled in classes please have your final transcript sent to the Office of Admissions once it becomes available. GW school specific regulations on transfer credit can be obtained from the University Bulletin or contact the appropriate Dean's office.
