How to Register | GW Alumni & Families Weekend | The George Washington University

We're thrilled that you and your guests are planning to join us for Alumni & Families Weekend from September 29 - October 1, 2023. To help make your registration as easy and fast as possible, we’re providing this helpful, step-by-step guide. Please follow along carefully. We look forward to seeing you this fall! For additional information, please visit the FAQ page.

STEP 1: Plan Ahead Before You Register

Before you start the registration process, it helps to plan ahead. You can register yourself as well as any additional guests in your party. Only one person from each party should register the group. Be sure to review the schedule of events and confer with your family and/or guests about which events you wish to attend. This will help to make your registration process much smoother.

STEP 2: Find Your Name and Sign Up

Once you begin the registration process, many members of the GW community will see their names have been pre-loaded into the registration portal. If you see many similar names or don’t find your name, that’s perfectly fine. Just click the “I do not appear to be listed” button and proceed to enter your information.

Once you're done entering your own information, you can then add the information for the other guests in your party. Be sure to include a valid email address for each guest so that they receive a confirmation email with their check-in details. If any of your guests are affiliated with GW, their name may also appear and can be selected to be part of your group.

STEP 3: Choose Your Events

Once you've finished entering the information for you and your guests, it’s time to choose which Alumni & Families Weekend events to attend. You will see multiple event package groups to choose from.
