About Policies and Procedures

Student housing is designed to develop, provide and assess programs and services that provide students with opportunities for holistic development in a living and learning environment.

It is the responsibility of the student resident to read and understand the materials and directions in their housing agreement, the Community Guide: Housing Policies and Procedures (PDF), and the GGC Student Code of Conduct and Student Handbook (PDF) as well as official emails, posters, policy changes or written/verbal correspondence issued by Student Housing or its agents.
