From advising and tutoring to funding and career services, resources are available to make the student experience as productive, supportive and enjoyable as possible.
Courses taken at other universities must be pre-approved by the student’s Department of Geography advisor, who will submit paperwork to the Office of the Registrar if approved. Students should bring a copy of the course syllabus and Transfer Credit Approval Form with appropriate sections completed when meeting with their advisor. More details are available on the Office of the Registrar website.
Students wishing to transfer credit from courses taken while studying abroad should meet with their department advisor to discuss academic logistics. Students will then use the CATS (course approval transfer system) to transfer their study abroad courses. Students should provide a complete syllabus, semester in which the course was taken, the department and country of study and the name of the GW course for which they hope to obtain credit. Find more information on the transfer credit process by visiting the GW Office for Study Abroad.
