VISA INFORMATION
If you have been admitted to a graduate program at the Milken Institute School of Public Health and require a visa to study in the United States, our office will work with you and the GW International Services Office (ISO) to obtain the I-20 or DS-2019 forms necessary to request an F-1 or J-1 visa from the U.S. government. Final deadline to submit initial I-20 Requests forms for Spring 2025 will be Nov 1st.
Please note: we will not process any documents until you have accepted admission into a degree program and have paid the deposit.
CLAIM YOUR GWMAIL ADDRESS
Be sure to set up your GWMail Address as this will provide you access to other steps later in the process.
REGISTER FOR CLASSES
Summer and Fall 2025 registration will open late-March for all graduate students. The Office of the Registrar has helpful videos and tutorials on how to register here. If you have specific questions, contact your academic advisor.
GET YOUR STUDENT ID
Students will be able to apply for and pick up their GWorld Card through the GWorld Office.
GWorld: Your Official GW ID Card and How to Get One
Your GWorld Card grants you access to academic buildings, the library and other campus locations. As a new incoming GW student, you are encouraged to submit your photo in advance so that the GWorld Office can generate your card and have it ready for you to pick-up for the start of the fall 2024 semester.
Take 10 minutes now to start your GWorld card set-up process. It will save you time when you arrive on campus. No standing in line to take your photo and waiting for your card to be printed.
SUBMIT YOUR IMMUNIZATION RECORDS
Students under the age of 26 must submit documentation of required immunizations through the patient portal prior to the start of class. Visit the Student Health website for the immunization form and more information on health insurance.
