MyGCU Home Page.
For Students
The For Students area is viewable by all GCU Users. To locate a department,
club or organization, simply hover over the catergory on the top tool bar,
and select the site/area you would like to visit.
While within the Student, Staff, or Faculty areas,
you will find Quick Links. This drop-down menu
will bring you to key GCU online areas.
Digital copies of event posters (normally located across the
campus) can be found here.
Posting of event posters and Upcoming Events at GCU are
maintained by the Student Affairs Office.
Local Maps & Sites
The Local Maps & Sites area is designed to help users residing at
the Lakewood campus find local resources. There are several
categories to choose from.
For example, the Local Food category displays nearby venues and
their delivery status, while the Colleges & Universities category
displays local schools to our GCU Lions away games are held.
After selecting a category, you will notice information concerning the individual places of interest. The map to the right
is interactive; by holding down the left button of your mouse over the map, you can move the map in whatever
direction you wish.
Additionally, by clicking the circle to the left of the store name will automatically display its location on the map.
Clicking Directions will automatically display directions from the Lakewood Campus to the place of interest.
Additionally, the category named On-Campus Services under Local Services
displays service departments within the GCU Lakewood Campus. The address
for these locations is based on the interactive online campus map.
This concludes the introduction to the
MyGCU Portal.
