IMPORTANT
UPDATE
from GW Housing:
GW
Summer & Conference Housing Arrival on Sunday,
May 25, 2008 – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GW
Housing Programs is looking forward to welcoming
you to Washington DC and our campus. You are
receiving this e-mail because according to our
records, your housing is scheduled with an arrival
date of Sunday, May 25, 2008. As this date is
the official start of our Summer & Conference
Housing program, it is our single largest check-in
day of the Summer season.
To
better manage the arrival of our guests, GW
is moving the arrival and check-in process to
the Marvin Center, GW's student center/union
on the Foggy Bottom Campus. The additional space
in this location allows GW to give you a "One-Stop"
check in process that we hope will be smooth
and easy for you. Summer guests will be able
to officially check-in, receive their residence
hall Summer Courtesy Card (access card), room
key, and for our long-stay participants, collect
their ResNet equipment which is necessary to
access the internet from on-campus rooms.
The
Marvin Center is located at 800 21st Street
NW between H and I Streets. Summer guests are
asked to enter via 21st Street NW for unrestricted
access. Those arriving via the Foggy Bottom-GWU
Metro, once leaving the Metro Station, you will
find yourself at the intersection of 23rd and
I Streets. Proceed down I Street and turn right
onto 21st Street. The Marvin Center entrance
is immediately on your right.
On
Sunday, May 25, 2008, we will begin to check-in
guests at 2:00pm (one hour earlier than our
standard check-in time). Check-in will occur
at the Marvin Center until 6:30pm and will resume
at our regular location, New Hall, located at
2350 H Street NW at 7:00pm. Should you anticipate
your travel to occur near 6:30pm, we are advising
guests to proceed directly to New Hall.
If
you have not already done so, please refer to
the following URL to complete your personal
information, electronically sign the Summer
Housing License Agreement, and make final payment
for those Summer guests who are individually
paying for their housing. Please note that PAYMENT
IN FULL is required prior to your check in date.
Not paying in advance of your physical arrival
to campus will delay your check-in. Guests who
are not GWU academic-year students and have
not created a Courtesy Net ID will need to create
a Courtesy Net ID to proceed. Please follow
the steps as a "First Time Visitor".
GWU academic-year students may log in using
their Net ID and password.
