OUS: The Office of University Students

Welcome!

The Office of University Students serves visiting, non-degree students by making credit-bearing courses available to those who are not currently seeking a degree at GW. Non-degree students may take courses at GW's main campus (Foggy Bottom/Mount Vernon), Virginia campus (in Loudoun County), and at other off campus and contracted sites.

To apply for admission as a non-degree student, complete the online application linked to this site (see apply button below). A one-time $25 application fee must be paid to complete the online application process. The fee is waived for those who enrolled in GW courses in the past and for current GW faculty and staff members using their tuition benefits. A hard copy application may be filed in lieu of the online application.
