About Safety and Security

Grizzly residents appreciate 24/7 student housing safety and security measures and professionally trained staff.

Claw Cards are required for admittance into student housing and keys are required for admittance into individual rooms. Guests are allowed entry only during visitation hours and are required to be escorted by the resident host/hostess at all times.

Professional and trained staff live and work in student housing to provide 24/7 security and availability for emergency response coverage. They are familiar with safety procedures and agencies throughout campus.

Additionally, GGC Public Safety patrol student housing frequently, along with Student Housing staff who conduct rounds multiple times each evening.

In accordance with GGC Public Safety and the Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services Department, fire drills are conducted periodically so that residents become familiar with building evacuation procedures.

Student housing is equipped with following fire protection features:

  • Smoke detectors in all bedrooms, suites and hallways
  • Emergency evacuation diagrams placed on every suite door (interior side)
  • Fire safety tips, procedures and action posters placed on every bedroom door (interior side)
  • Self-closing doors in every suite entry/exit
  • Automatic sprinkler systems in all bedrooms, suites and hallways
  • Fire extinguishers on every floor
  • Fire alarm pull stations at every exit
  • Emergency lighting and exit lights

GGC is committed to safety, therefore, there are no stoves in student housing to avoid kitchen fires.

GGC strives to educate Grizzly residents and provide information and resources to make safe decisions.

Student residents are encouraged to lock their bedroom doors and obtain renters insurance to keep their belongings safe. GGC is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items.

Please also review safety and emergency communications for the campus.
