All registered students -- undergraduate, graduate, non-degree, consortium, and exchange -- are eligible to receive GWorld Cards.

If you are a student and a staff member, you must maintain a staff card. If you are a student and a MFA or UHS employee, you must maintain a student card.

Requirements

You must be registered for at least one course and present a valid U.S. government issued photo ID.

Getting Your Card

The timing for when you get your card is based on the type of student you are:

• New undergraduates: At Colonial Inauguration
• Other new students: One month before your classes begin
• Returning students: Anytime during the semester as long as you are registered for classes

Access

Your card will provide you access to GW Libraries, your residence hall if you live on campus and the Lerner Health & Wellness Center.

Accounts

Your GWorld card will serve as your payment around campus and can include:
