We take the safety, health and well-being of our community seriously. This site serves as the university’s COVID-19 resource center, where you can find the latest information about our campus safety measures, frequently asked questions and updates related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
GW requires students, faculty, staff and postdocs to receive the primary series of an approved COVID-19 vaccine and at least one booster, unless they receive an approved exemption.
Masks are optional but remain strongly recommended in all GW-owned and -operated facilities, with limited exceptions.
Courses are in-person. Only those limited courses designated for hybrid or online modalities will have a remote component.
Our residence halls, classrooms, libraries, offices and other spaces are safe and ready for our community members to occupy.
