Protection of Minors

Protection of Minors

 

GW is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone on its campuses and in its programs. This includes minors (individuals under 18 years of age) and children (defined under District of Columbia law as minors under the age of 16) who participate in programs and activities both on and off campus. GW has established a Protection of Minors program to provide guidance to university faculty, staff, and affiliates.
