Every semester, registered students are asked to confirm their enrollment in MyGFU prior to the semester’s start. If students fail to confirm their enrollment it can negatively affect their financial aid, their housing, and their class registration.
As you interact with students between now and the beginning of spring semester, please ask if they’ve confirmed their enrollment and, if not, point them to their checklist items in MyGFU to do so.
Thank you!
