Greetings! We are writing with some additional information and important reminders. Please refer to Incoming 1L Student Check-List with all of the tasks (and other reminders) we have sent to you and the associated deadlines. We will continue to add to the checklist as new tasks become available. You can also find previous communications there as well.
(NEW) Course Schedule and Book Lists
Your fall course schedule is now available! You can view your course schedule on GWeb by logging in with your UserID and password. Navigate to the Student Records and Registration page and click Registration Menu to view your registration information. In addition, your book lists are now available. You can find your book lists by searching the bookstore website. In addition, a list will be posted to the Records Office website in August. If you cannot see the books for your course(s), that is likely because faculty have until the end of July to submit the books for their course. Please note that, while unlikely, your registration is subject to change up until Orientation and should be considered when deciding when to purchase any books. Please note that you will not have access to the other portals and course pages yet.

Apply for GW Law Footnote Program (Due: July 29)
Does the phrase “hiding the ball” sound like something a person does with their dog? Does a tort sound like a dessert? If so, keep reading. The Dean of Students Office, in partnership with the Office of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is offering the Footnote program, two additional days of orientation programming on Monday and Tuesday, August 11th & 12th. We created a schedule designed to provide participants with a preview of the law school classroom, insight into legal careers, and strategies for maintaining balance. If you are the first lawyer in your family, or you think that you could really benefit from a little insight into what to expect in your 1L year, please fill out our Footnote application.
