Hey guys. I recently got admitted to GWU and I'm trying to plan my schedule for the fall semester. I'm still confused about how the course search system works. Can anyone guide me through it?
Sure, I can help you with that! George Washington University has an online course search system that you can navigate to plan your schedule. You can start by visiting the "Schedule of Classes" page on the GWU official website.
On the course search page, you can filter based on a number of factors. First select which semester you are planning for (like "Fall 2024" or "Spring 2025"). Then, you can filter by the school or college you're in (like "Columbian College of Arts and Sciences" or "School of Business").
You can also filter by the subject using the included dropdown menu. For example, you can select "Biology" or "Computer Science", depending on your area of interest or major.
After you've selected your filters, you can even choose to show only online classes, or classes taught at a specific campus. Then, simply hit the "Search" button.
The search results would show all classes matching your filters. You can click each result for details about course timings, professor, credits, prerequisites if any, and a brief description of the course. This will help you understand how the course fits into your schedule and overall study plan.
Remember, it is always a good idea to have a meeting with your academic advisor before finalizing your course schedule. They can help ensure you're fulfilling your major requirements and can advise you on workload and class balance. They can also advise on how best to align your course selection with your academic and career goals.
I hope these instructions simplify the process for you! Happy scheduling!
