Student Course Application

GCWS Course application

Please submit this form to indicate your interest in taking a course with the GCWS.

If you wish to apply for multiple courses, please re-submit this form for each course individually. Send any questions to the GCWS Program Manager, gcws@mit.edu.

2024-2025 COURSE APPLICATION DEADLINES:

  • Fall Courses application deadline: August 11, 2024

  • Spring Courses application deadline: January 5, 2025

Applications received after the deadlines will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the seminar is filled. All students will be notified by email of the status of their acceptance within a week of the application deadlines.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are applying for a Fall semester course and are expecting financial aid, please register for a ‘place holder’ course at your home institution. Financial aid can be dependent on the number of credits you are registered for and the deadline for GCWS courses typically falls after financial aid deadlines. Registering for a ‘place holder’ course ensures that your financial aid package will not be impacted. Once you hear back from GCWS, you can withdraw from the ‘place holder’ course and register for the GCWS course. Please be in touch if you have any questions.
