Welcome to Residence Life at Grand Canyon University!

Choosing to live on campus during your college years is one of the best decisions you can make to support yourself while pursuing your dreams.  Here at GCU, we believe that the time you spend living on campus will be a time that helps you to become all that you are meant to be. 

The staff within the Residence Life Department seeks to provide a holistically supportive and hospitable environment in which students are able to pursue their academic goals while being challenged to Pursue Authenticity, Engage in Community and Impact the World.

With this in mind, it is our desire to cultivate a living atmosphere where students have the opportunity to find themselves in new and exciting ways, where growth is celebrated, and life is lived to the fullest. 

We encourage you to make the most of your time here on campus, making it your home-away-from-home, creating friendships and making memories that will last a lifetime!
