PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO GWEB REGISTRATIONS The following information is required for registration by GWeb: Student ID

Your nine-digit Student Identification Number (usually your Social Security Number) is needed to register. For some students (who do not have a SSN at the time of admission), GW assigns a nine-digit identification number starting with a (@) symbol in the first digit position.
PIN
Your Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a six-digit number consisting of four digits representing your birth month and year, followed by the number 99. For example, if you were born in January 1976, your PIN would be 017699. Your PIN, together with the nine-digit Student Identification Number, creates a unique combination designed to ensure private access to your file. It is extremely important that these numbers be kept confidential. You are able to change your PIN by GWeb. You may also change it in person at the Office of the Registrar. Adequate identification is required to do so.
