If you plan on bringing a bike to campus, please register it with Campus Security.  Campus Security also sells U-Locks at a discounted price.  Cable locks are easily cut and U-Locks are much more durable.

Your bike’s serial number is the most important piece of information we need in case your bike gets stolen.  Here are some common areas

Welcome to Gonzaga! Friday, August 28th 2015 is the first day freshman can move into residence halls. Four major changes in traffic flow on the university campus will allow easy access for unloading and parking:
• Cincinnati Street from the Centennial trail to Desmet Avenue will only be a northbound, one-way street.
• Desmet Avenue from Cincinnati to Hamilton Street will only be an eastbound, one-way street to allow egress for departing vehicles. To access Cincinnati Street, you must turn west onto Spokane Falls Boulevard from Hamilton Street and then turn north onto Cincinnati Street.
• The intersection of Dakota Street and Boone Avenue, Dakota Street from alley south of Sharp Avenue to Boone Avenue, and Boone Avenue from Dakota Street and Cincinnati Street are ONLY pedestrian areas – no vehicles allowed.
• Desmet Avenue from Dakota Street to Cincinnati Street will be only an eastbound, one-way street to allow egress for departing vehicles from Welch Hall.
In order to reduce the wait time for students to unload their belongings; we recommend that after you have completed unloading your vehicle, you park your vehicle in the parking garage which is located at Desmet Avenue and Cincinnati Street, any Gonzaga-owned parking lot, or street parking; and then finish moving into your respective residence hall.
To ease any confusion on how to arrive to your respective residence hall, please follow these directions:

If you are arriving from Hamilton Street – turn west onto Boone Avenue, continue to Cincinnati Street, turn left onto Cincinnati Street, and then turn right into the alley just south of Boone Avenue where a sign and a uniformed staff member shall direct you to a parking space.

SPOKANE, Wash. – The Spokane Fire Department is investigating a gasoline spill that happened near North Hamilton Street and East Sharp Avenue early Wednesday morning.

Authorities responded shortly after 7:00 a.m. to reports of a gas leak. Upon arrival they were able to confirm the leak was from a vehicle, and not the pump.

According to authorities, a man attempted to steal gas from an Spokane Transit Authority vehicle, unknowingly clipped a fill line, and that led to approximately 10 gallons of fuel spilling onto the street.

Hamilton St. was closed briefly, but authorities re-opened the street shortly after 8:00 a.m.

There has been an increase in students playing golf with tennis balls around campus. This has become an issue because damage is being done to the grass all over campus and we want to make sure our campus is as beautiful as it can be. This damage to the grass is causing a significant amount of work for the grounds crew. This activity also has the potential for injury to others. The university needs this activity to stop immediately. If you are found playing, you will be asked to stop. You will also have the potential of going through the conduct process. Thank you for your support in caring for our campus and those in it.
