Campus Rules & Regulations

Look for these links on In the interest of creating a safe and positive environment for all residents and guests, our website it is necessary to set conduct guidelines that all guests of The George Washington University must adhere to. By choosing to stay on either the Foggy Bottom campus or the Mount Vernon campus, guests agree to follow all rules and regulations set forth in the Residential Community Conduct Guidelines (RCCG), available at: www.summerhousing.gwu.edu/rules.

As defined in the Code, a GW student is “any currently enrolled person, full‐time or part‐time, or on continuous enrollment, pursuing undergraduate, graduate, or professional studies, whether or not in pursuit of a degree or of any form of certificate of completion.” The guidelines established in the Code, RCCG and the Summer Housing License Agreement apply to all individuals; however, only academic year GW students and non‐GW academic‐year student attending Summer 2015 courses are entitled to a disciplinary process. For all others, policy violations will normally result in a warning (for minor violations) or immediate termination of the Summer Housing License Agreement (for serious and/or repeated minor violations). The University may take immediate possession of the room occupied by the Licensee for a violation of

any terms of this Summer Housing License Agreement and without refund to the

Licensee. Reports of violations of University policy received from the University Police

Department, GW Housing staff, and/or any other GW Department are considered

factual and accurate, and are the basis for decisions rendered for individual

Licensees.

Campus Emergencies

In the event of a campus emergency or if you are in danger, call the GW Police

Department at 202-994-6111

If 911 is contacted, it will bypass university police and response time may be slower.

The GW Police Department has officers on patrol 24 hours a day to ensure that our

guests are protected during their stay. GW campuses are very safe, but it is important

to be aware of your surroundings since the campus is located in an urban setting. In

addition to utilizing University Police, we do invite you visit the Campus Advisories

Website in order to make sure you are up to date on campus and DC emergencies.

If there is a fire alarm in the building, please exit the building at the closest exit and

proceed across the street from the building at least 250 feet away from the entrance

and await further instructions by University Police of a GW Staff Member.
