Student Life

Administrative Experience


What personal information can you view online- your contact information, grades, degree progress, financial status or other information?  

Gannon University provides GUXpress, a web-based system that allows students to view their academic information online. Students can search and register for classes, access their class schedule, tuition bill, mid-term and final grades, transcript and manage their academic process.  In addition, students can grant their parent or guardian access to much of their on-line information.  


Can you update any of this information online yourself?  

At this time, students can mail, email, fax or drop off changes to the Registrars' Office. This is to ensure that all information entered into the university database adhere to Post-Office standards allowing the university to reduce mailing costs. 


Which of the following can you do online?

  • Check admission status
  • Pay bills
  • Apply for and view financial aide rewards
  • Register for, add, and drop courses
  • Learn course grades (online or by phone)
  • Check progress toward completion of degree requirements
  • Make campus bookstore purchases

  While prospective students can apply for admission, they cannot yet apply for financial aide. All other transactions can be conducted online and students can also manage their debit card account (check available balance, see recent transactions and deposit funds to their account).


What campus and community services are covered by debit-card, smart card, or one-card systems?

  Gannon University has a GU Gold card to maintain debit funds. The GU Gold card is recognized by campus dining services, bookstore, and library. The GU Gold card is also recognized at 40 off-campus restaurant and vendors. The card is used to gain access to freshman residence halls, admissions to the recreation center, and sporting events.


Is the school catalog - including course descriptions, degree requirements, academic policies, and the semester/term schedule of classes - available on the Web?  

 Both the undergraduate and graduate catalogs are available on-line.  The degree requirements, course descriptions and academic policies are in the catalog.  the semester schedule of classes is available through GUXpress and reflects changes immediately.  


Is there a campus code of behavior about using computer resources?  

Gannon University has an Information Technology Code of Conduct which outlines the acceptable use of computing resources. Key aspects of the policy are explained during preview GU and students must agree to comply with the Code of Conduct to retain access to technology resources.


Does the campus have policies addressing peer-to-peer file sharing, virus software and copyright?  

Gannon University has a policy regarding peer-to-peer programs, which does not allow them during academic hours. With the use of the inline network device, Gannon can restrict the bandwidth during specific hours of the day.

Gannon University provides all students on-campus and off-campus with anti-virus software. This software uses a managed client to automatically provide updates and upgrades to students’ on-campus computers.

Gannon University provides each student with the Code of Academic Integrity publication during Freshman Orientation or entrance into the University. This Code of Academic Integrity contains information pertaining to plagiarism, fabrication, cheating, and academic misconduct.


How does the campus manage e-mail spam?  

Gannon University employs software to evaluate every incoming email and flag those that are potentially SPAM. Students then have the ability to review or automatically delete these emails that are likely SPAM.
