How​ ​to​ ​Register

To​ ​learn​ ​how​ ​to​ ​register​ ​you​ ​can​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​steps​ ​below,​ ​and​ ​also​ ​view​ ​an​ ​online​ ​tutorial​​ ​to​ ​guide​ ​you​ ​through​ ​the

registration​ ​process.

Creating​ ​a​ ​Schedule

1. Plan​ ​your​ ​schedule​ ​carefully​ ​before​ ​you​ ​log​ ​in​ ​to​ ​GWeb​.
2. Prepare​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​alternate​ ​courses​ ​for​ ​each​ ​primary​ ​choice​ ​by​ ​listing​ ​course​ ​reference​ ​numbers​ ​(CRNs)
in​ ​case​ ​your​ ​first​ ​choice(s)​ ​is​ ​not​ ​available.
3. Identify​ ​any​ ​courses​ ​those​ ​requiring​ ​special​ ​permission,​ ​which​ ​are​ ​not​ ​available​ ​through​ ​GWeb.

4. Be​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​time​ ​conflicts.

5. Make​ ​sure​ ​you​ ​have​ ​the​ ​proper​ ​Course​ ​Reference​ ​Number​ ​(CRN)​ ​for​ ​each​ ​of​ ​your​ ​courses.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​a
five-digit​ ​number​ ​and​ ​is​ ​required​ ​to​ ​identify​ ​the​ ​department,​ ​course,​ ​and​ ​section​ ​you​ ​are​ ​selecting​ ​when
registering.​ ​Each​ ​course​ ​and​ ​laboratory/discussion​ ​section(s)​ ​will​ ​have​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​five-digit​ ​CRN.​ ​Course
Reference​ ​Numbers​ ​change​ ​each​ ​semester.
6. Confirm​ ​days​ ​and​ ​times​ ​of​ ​selected​ ​courses​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Schedule​ ​of​ ​Classes​​ ​prior​ ​to​ ​registering.

Logging​ ​in​ ​to​ ​GWeb

1. Go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​GWeb​ ​login​ ​page

2. Enter​ ​your​ ​GWid​ ​and​ ​PIN

GWid:​ ​This​ ​is​ ​required​ ​to​ ​access​ ​the​ ​GWeb​ ​Information​ ​System.​ ​Your​ ​GWid​ ​is​ ​a​ ​'G'​ ​followed​ ​by​ ​a​ ​series​ ​of​ ​eight
numbers.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​forgotten​ ​your​ ​GWid,​ ​you​ ​may​ ​use​ ​the​ ​retrieval​ ​tool​​ ​to​ ​look​ ​it​ ​up.​ ​You​ ​must​ ​enter​ ​your​ ​GWid​ ​with
a​ ​capital​ ​'G'.

PIN:​ ​Initial​ ​student​ ​PINs​ ​are​ ​six​ ​characters​ ​long​ ​and​ ​are​ ​generated​ ​according​ ​to​ ​the​ ​student's​ ​date​ ​of​ ​birth,​ ​in​ ​a
MMDDYY​ ​format.​ ​The​ ​PIN,​ ​together​ ​with​ ​the​ ​GWid,​ ​creates​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​combination​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​private​ ​access
to​ ​certain​ ​university​ ​records.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​extremely​ ​important​ ​that​ ​your​ ​login​ ​information​ ​be​ ​kept​ ​confidential.​ ​You​ ​are​ ​strongly
encouraged​ ​to​ ​change​ ​your​ ​PIN,​ ​which​ ​you​ ​may​ ​do​ ​through​ ​the​ ​Personal​ ​Information​ ​menu​ ​of​ ​the​ ​GWeb​ ​Information
System.

PIN​ ​Problems:​ ​ ​If​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​know​ ​your​ ​PIN,​ ​please​ ​try​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​following​ ​options:

1. If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​logged​ ​into​ ​the​ ​GWeb​ ​Information​ ​System​ ​before​ ​and​ ​have​ ​set​ ​up​ ​your​ ​security​ ​question
and​ ​answer,​ ​enter​ ​your​ ​GWid​ ​on​ ​the​ ​GWeb​ ​Information​ ​System​ ​login​ ​screen​ ​and​ ​click​ ​on​ ​the​ ​"Forgot
PIN?"​ ​button.​ ​When​ ​presented​ ​with​ ​your​ ​security​ ​question,​ ​enter​ ​the​ ​answer​ ​that​ ​you​ ​previously
supplied​ ​and​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​instructions​ ​to​ ​reset​ ​your​ ​PIN.
 2. If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​not​ ​set​ ​up​ ​a​ ​security​ ​question​ ​and​ ​answer,​ ​click​ ​on​ ​“HELP”​ ​and​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​instructions.

Disabled​ ​Account:​ ​If​ ​you​ ​receive​ ​a​ ​message​ ​that​ ​your​ ​account​ ​has​ ​been​ ​disabled,​ ​please​ ​click​ ​on​ ​"HELP"​ ​and​ ​contact
the​ ​appropriate​ ​office​ ​for​ ​PIN​ ​assistance.

Registering​ ​for​ ​Classes

1. Check​ ​GWeb​ ​for​ ​any​ ​holds​​ ​that​ ​may​ ​prevent​ ​you​ ​from​ ​registering​ ​at​ ​your​ ​appointed​ ​time.​ ​You​ ​will​ ​not​ ​be
able​ ​to​ ​register​ ​prior​ ​to​ ​your​ ​scheduled​ ​day​ ​or​ ​outside​ ​of​ ​the​ ​scheduled​ ​days​ ​and​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​registration.
2. Make​ ​sure​ ​you​ ​have​ ​your​ ​GWid​ ​and​ ​PIN​ ​ready.

3. When​ ​you​ ​are​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​register,​ ​login​ ​to​ ​GWeb​,​ ​select​ ​‘Student​ ​Records​ ​&​ ​Registration​ ​Menu’,​ ​then
‘Registration​ ​Menu’.​ ​Click​ ​‘Register,​ ​Drop​ ​and/or​ ​Add​ ​Classes’​ ​and​ ​select​ ​the​ ​appropriate​ ​semester.
4. The​ ​first​ ​time​ ​you​ ​log​ ​in​ ​to​ ​GWeb​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​prompted​ ​to​ ​enter​ ​your​ ​current​ ​address.​ ​Failure​ ​to​ ​enter​ ​the
information​ ​will​ ​prohibit​ ​your​ ​registration.
5. Enter​ ​your​ ​desired​ ​CRNs​ ​into​ ​the​ ​boxes​ ​and​ ​click​ ​on​ ​‘​Submit​ ​Changes​'.​ ​You​ ​will​ ​immediately​ ​see​ ​if​ ​you
have​ ​been​ ​successful​ ​or​ ​if​ ​there​ ​were​ ​any​ ​errors​ ​with​ ​your​ ​request(s).
6. You​ ​may​ ​add​ ​additional​ ​CRNs​ ​by​ ​entering​ ​them​ ​in​ ​the​ ​boxes.​ ​You​ ​may​ ​drop​ ​courses​ ​by​ ​using​ ​the​ ​'Web
Drop'​ ​Option​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Action​ ​Column​ ​next​ ​to​ ​the​ ​course​ ​you​ ​wish​ ​to​ ​drop.
7. Review​ ​your​ ​schedule​ ​to​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​it​ ​is​ ​correct.
8. Once​ ​registered,​ ​check​ ​your​ ​schedule​ ​on​ ​GWeb​ ​often​ ​for​ ​updates.​ ​Changes​ ​can​ ​occur,​ ​including
location,​ ​time,​ ​or​ ​cancellation.

Following​ ​the​ ​above​ ​steps​ ​will​ ​help​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​problems​ ​with​ ​your​ ​registration.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​questions,​ ​please​ ​contact​ ​the
Office​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Registrar​ ​at​ ​(202)​ ​994-4900​ ​or​ ​registrar@gwu.edu.
