In this month's academics newsletter, we have more information on:

📅Fall Registration is Open!

GFA Course Schedule

Unsure how to register? Here are some tips for you!

USG Students
  • Register directly through your student portal just as you would for any other class. Simply look for the "GFA" subject code.
  • If you don't see any available seats, try refreshing your page. It may take up to 10 minutes for a new seat to load in.
 

TCSG Students
  • Register for GFA classes the same way you have in the past. You can find our courses listed under the "FILM" subject code. 
  • If you are unsure how to register for classes through your school, reach out to your registrar's office for assistance.

Private Institution Students
  • Register for GFA classes the same way you have in the past.

❓Registration Advising Sessions

Unsure of what classes you want to take in the Fall? Have questions about the schedule, the internship, or how to register? We've got you covered! Join us this Summer for one of our advising sessions and get all of your questions answered.
Currently in a GFA class?

We will be hosting advising sessions for all of our Summer classes June 22-25. All classes are required to attend, so you don't need to worry about missing out! If you have questions about when your class specifically is attending, check with your instructor.
 
Not taking a GFA class this Summer?

Join one of our virtual Q&A sessions! For students who aren't currently taking class (or miss the session their class attends), you can join us virtually on July 1 & 2. You can find more information and the link to join on the student hub.

🕘The GFA Waitlist
 

Is the class you're interested in already full? The next thing you should do is add yourself to our waitlist! If extra seats become available, we will release them to the waitlist on a first come, first served basis.
