| Description |
The department may permit selected students to spend one or more elective periods at other institutions (extramural or away electives). This course is available to GW students only. Extramural electives require the permission of the comparable course director at GW and the SMHS Dean’s Office. The student is responsible for arranging the extramural elective with the host institution (VSLO preferred). Extramural electives not arranged through VSLO/VSAS require an affiliation agreement with the host institution; if there is no current agreement on file this must be arranged at least 90 days in advance with the Dean’s Office. |
| Additional Notes |
For all extramural electives, students must submit the mandatory Extramural Elective Request Form (Registration Form 2301-EA) located on the MD Registrar website to the Dean’s Office prior to the beginning date of the elective. |
