General Registration Information

1. Law School registration is conducted by lottery. It is not first come, first served.

2. Per ABA requirements, JD students will be given priority enrollment in any course required for the JD degree, needed for bar examination preparation, or required for bar admission.

3. If a class over-subscribes due to an enrollment cap or room size, bumps will occur by lottery. Check to see if you've been bumped when registration results are posted.

4. Please submit PRIORITY class selections via Google form. You must also register for this course via GWeb.

Advanced Online Waitlists for the above courses will be available starting Tuesday, Oct 14 until 9 am on Friday, Oct 17. Students will be notified of results via email at their @law.gwu.edu email addresses. If selected, the Records Office will automatically register students for the advanced waitlisted course(s) for which they were selected. If students wish to drop an advanced waitlisted course for which they were selected, they may do so on GWeb (students may drop advanced waitlisted courses, but not add them). A student’s PRIORITY CLASS SELECTION cannot be used for advanced waitlisted courses. All students will have an equal chance via a lottery.

6. 2L day and evening students: Please check the list of Closed Classes before selecting your PRIORITY class. The Closed Class list will be posted on the Records Office webpage by late afternoon on Monday, October 27.

7. Evening students will be given preference in evening and weekend classes for which they use their priority.

8. JD and LLM students may not register for more than 15 credits during the initial registration; students may be allowed to add courses beyond 15 credits during the add/drop period with the approval of the Dean of Students Office via a Registration Transaction Form.

9. Full-time JD students must take a minimum of 12 credit hours.

10. Please do not go to a professor seeking entry into a closed class as the professor cannot give you permission to do so.

11. Check GWeb to see if there are any holds applied to prevent you from registering. A hold can only be cleared by the office that placed the hold on your record. If you are unable to register for courses via GWeb, please submit a Registration Transaction Form once the hold has been removed.
