- Those people who have not been automatically registered must present their GWorld or GWU Hospital ID at the Circulation Desk and fill out a user application form.
- Their borrowing status will remain active as long as they are registered for classes or employed with the University.
- Address, e-mail address and telephone information should also be updated regularly. Contact the Circulation Desk Manager, at (202) 994-1829 for more information.
- University personnel and students not affiliated with the SMHS, GWSPH, and SON must fill out a user application form at the Himmelfarb Circulation Desk in order to register for borrowing.
- These staff, students and faculty must re-register by presenting a current GW ID each semester.
- Circulation staff may request a confirmation of current affiliation.
