Campus Life
All residence halls are open, the university has resumed in-person classes and large venues, such as Lisner Auditorium, will host events. Masks are required for all indoor spaces.
Dining
GW's open dining plan gives students access to food and groceries from more than 105 dining partners concentrated on our campuses and in our surrounding neighborhoods. Please check the websites listed below for current operating hours.
Transportation & Parking
The Vern Express is limited to those with GWorld access only. The VSTC shuttle is operating under a modified schedule. For schedules, visit the Transportation website.
For information about faculty and staff monthly and occasional parking, visit the Business Services website, email [email protected] or call 202-994-7199.
Residence Halls
The following measures are being implemented to reduce the density of on-campus occupancy of residential students for their health and safety:
- Students will share a bedroom with, at most, one other student.
- Each student will share a bathroom with at most three other students.
- Bunk beds have been removed from all units.
Individuals will need an authorized GWorld card to access residence halls. For the fall 2021 semester, no guests allowed except for other GW residential students between 7 am – 11 pm and no overnight guests allowed. With a residential student only guest policy this means no outside guests are allowed to visit the residence halls until further notice, including family or friends from outside of GW as well as GW students who live off-campus.
Events and Venues
GW community members may book event spaces through the GW Venues website, which provides a comprehensive list of bookable spaces, including venues, outdoor spaces, study spaces, classrooms and residence hall community rooms.
The GW Venues site also provides information on how to book event spaces at the Mount Vernon and Virginia Science and Technology campuses as well as at the Virginia Academic Centers.
Guests are required to attest that they are vaccinated or, if they are unvaccinated, attest that they have received a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of their visit to campus.
Study Abroad
Subject to travel risk and safety review and destination country risk and guidelines, in the fall, the GW Office for Study Abroad will offer limited programming through GW-branded programs. Please visit the Office of the Study Abroad for Academic Year 2021-2022 FAQs or contact [email protected] for individualized guidance for the 2021-22 academic year.
