The Office of the University Registrar has developed a number of forms that after proper completion and appropriate approval signatures, will process an academic action or exception. All Academic action forms, regardless of required approvals, should be submitted to the Office of Student and Academic Affairs for official logging in the CEHD system. SAA will deliver forms to the Registrar’s office for final processing.

Following is a list of frequently used university forms that can be found on the Registrar’s website at https://registrar.gmu.edu/forms/. Registrar’s forms are not linked below, as changes to the links are made frequently without advanced notice. Forms not available on the Registrar’s website are hyperlinked below.
