Gannon University

Gannon University students live in residence halls, University-owned housing, off-campus organizational houses, and privately owned off-campus buildings.

All freshmen students who live beyond twenty-five miles from the University are assigned to campus residence halls. Those freshmen who live within twenty-five miles of the University may opt to live in campus residence halls. Freshmen students are assigned to a room based upon their acceptance to the University.

In the event of an emergency or extenuating circumstance, the Student Living staff will assist a resident student in making a change in his/her assignment. The Assistant Director of Student Living, Mr. Douglas Zimmerman , must approve all changes in room assignments.

All guests to residence halls (non-students and students of the opposite sex) must be met at the lobby by the resident student, signed in, and escorted at all times. Resident students are responsible for their visitor’s actions in the residence hall and on campus. All visitors must adhere to the University’s rules and regulations.

All freshmen resident students must attend introductory meetings with their RA’s and RD’s. During these meetings security and enforcement procedures are explained and discussed with students. Additional meetings may be held through out the academic year to explain and discuss any changes in procedures and address any security concerns in residence halls. Representatives from Student Living and the Office of Campus Police and Safety are available to students who may have concerns or safety issues.

Residence halls are closed during extended holidays and semester breaks . Students who wish to stay on campus must live in a designated University-owned housing unit during these periods. The designated housing unit is staffed as it would be during a normal period. Students must obtain permission from the University’s Assistant Director of Student Living, Mr. Douglas Zimmerman , to live on campus during this time.

Non-student guests of the same gender may stay for two consecutive weekend nights in residence halls. Permission must be given by the RD or the Director of Student Living to have non-student overnight guests. Non-student guests are required to abide by the University policies. Visiting privileges may be revoked if a non-resident guest violates campus policies and procedures.
