Freshman Saige Sunig urges GW and the University’s Student Health Service to inform students of holds on their accounts sooner rather than later, so students can know of problems with their immunization forms and register on time.

Since the current semester is coming to a close, the time has come for students to pick which classes they plan on taking for the spring of 2011. For many, this can be a very stressful time, filled with worries about fulfilling all GCRs and other major requirements. The last thing that students need is even more stress surrounding the scheduling process.

Unfortunately, some students have faced a number of obstacles in the weeks prior to registration.

Various holds on accounts, namely those in place due to incomplete or missing immunization forms, have sent a number of students into a panic over the past few weeks. At the beginning of the academic year, every student is required to submit an immunization form before he or she is allowed to attend classes. GW makes it relatively easy to submit these forms, and most students felt as though they received an adequate amount of time to have them completed.
