COVID-19 Important Information
The health and safety of the GW community is a top priority for the University.
GW is working with local, state, and federal public health officials to monitor the situation and respond appropriately.
Families
Campus Living & Residential Education
Our number one priority is ensuring the safety of our community and we stand ready to support our students through this difficult time. On campus students were asked to vacate GW residence halls and only a limited number of exceptions were made.
With government stay-at-home instructions issued to limit the spread of COVID-19, we do not believe it will be safe for students and their families to return to campus in the coming weeks to move out of the residence halls on their own accord.
Our focus is on packing and storing student belongings through the start of the Fall 2020 semester at no cost. We are exploring options for the shipping of some items or the retrieval of stored belongings if this becomes a safe option.
GW Cares
At GW, we aim to create a community that cares for one another. The college experience can often be challenging, and asking for help can be difficult. The CARE Network reaches out to offer support so that students can be as successful as possible through graduation.
If you are concerned about a student, please submit a CARE report.
If your student is experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 emergency, they may submit a request for funding through the GW CARES Student Assistance Fund.
Make a donation to GW CARES to help students in need.

ON BEHALF OF THE OFFICE OF STUDENT SUPPORT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT, we welcome you and your family to the GW community! As parents and family members, you are important partners in your student’s success. We believe establishing a relationship with families is an important component of this academic, social, and professional transition.
