Housing and Residence Life

Housing on campus is provided in a variety of living environments to meet varying needs of students.

Canavan Hall, housing approximately 260 students, is primarily used as first-year and new student housing.  Canavan is a five-story suite-style residence hall. Two bedrooms share a bathroom; lounges and laundry facilities are on each floor. Rooms are either doubled or tripled, and all floors are co-ed living by suite.

The Campus Apartments,  housing 384 students, is a complex of seven two-story apartment-style buildings, providing housing typically for upperclass students. Each apartment houses four students and consists of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a full kitchen. Laundry facilities are available within each building.

Daemen University collaborates with Collegiate Village, an independently operated housing complex, which typically houses upperclass students and transfer students. Housing is apartment-style and includes full size beds, individual bathrooms, and laundry facilities within each apartment.  Transportation is provided between Collegiate Village and Daemen’s campus.

At times, housing demand exceeds the available beds on campus. When that happens, Daemen works with local hotel partners and students are housed there until a space on campus or in Collegiate Village is available.

A trained Residence Life staff member is available to assist residential students with their social, academic, and personal needs. Living on campus provides a student’s place of residence as an integral part of the total educational experience.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served on weekdays in the John R. Yurtchuk Student Center; brunch and dinner are served on Saturdays and Sundays. Adequate parking is available for non-Canavan resident students who need to park their cars on campus. Students residing in Canavan Hall are able to have cars, but must park them at Collegiate Village. All vehicles (including those belonging to Canavan residents) must be registered with the University; parking permits are required.

Residence Halls are open only while classes are in session. If housing is needed during breaks and holidays, students must complete a break housing form in accordance with the timeline set forth by the Housing & Residence Life Office. Students requesting to stay must be granted approval and must have a Daemen-related reason to stay on campus (e.g., athletics, class). There may be a cost associated with staying over breaks.

Daemen University Housing Residency Requirement

All first-time, full-time students who reside outside of a 30-mile radius of campus are required to live in on-campus housing during their first two (2) years at Daemen University (four consecutive semesters total). If a student is commuting from home and residing with parent(s) or legal guardian(s) they are exempt from the on-campus residency requirement.

Incoming transfer students who have had prior on-campus housing at another institution will be able to count that time towards this requirement. Incoming transfer students who are over age 23 prior to the start of the semester for which they are enrolling will be able to request an exemption from this policy. 

In order for the Office of Housing and Residence Life to assist students as best possible, students need to follow strict timelines in order to be placed where they have requested. For dates and timelines, please refer to the Residence Life website.

Gender Inclusive Housing

The Office of Housing and Residence Life permits non-first year students of any gender to room with one another in a campus apartment. Students who are interested in this living arrangement must request this option as a group during the housing selection process. Students living in the same gender-inclusive apartment must keep separate bedrooms.  The University does not assign students of different genders to the same apartment unless students agree to this arrangement.

Commuter Life

Over half of the student body commutes to campus for classes and activities. During the day and after classes, many commuters study in the Research & Information Commons (RIC) or socialize in the John R. Yurtchuk Student Center. Commuter students are encouraged to become involved in student organizations and to participate in student activities. Information about campus life and student events is provided through the Daemen website, Daemen Connect, @daemenlife and @daemenuniversity social media pages, and regular Daemen University email communications. Microwaves are available in various locations on campus for those who opt to bring their own lunch. A la carte meals are available for purchase at The Wildcat Den. More substantial, all-you-can-eat meals may be purchased in the John R. Yurtchuk Dining Hall for cash, credit, or “CAT Cash.” Private lockers for commuter students are available in several campus academic buildings. Parking permits are required of all persons (residents, commuters, faculty, staff, and visitors).  Apply for a parking permit via your MyDaemen page.

John R. Yurtchuk Student Center

The John R. Yurtchuk Student Center serves as the “living room” of our campus, where students, faculty, staff, and community members alike can meet. The John R. Yurtchuk Student Center houses a variety of multi-purpose rooms, community areas, the campus game-room, and is also home to our main dining options on campus. With doors open to students 24 hours a day, the John R. Yurtchuk Student Center offers something for everyone, whether they are looking for a place to sit and study or a place to socialize with friends outside of the classroom. Students are also encouraged to utilize the outdoor volleyball court, basketball court, lawn games, fire pit, and propane grill. In addition to the public student usage spaces, the John R. Yurtchuk Student Center is home to various administrative offices, including Student Affairs, Student Activities, Residence Life, the CHIP Center, Career Services, and Campus Safety. Dining options are also available in the Wildcat Den and the John R. Yurtchuk Dining Hall.

Student Activities

The Student Activities Office is responsible for the authorization and coordination of student organization-sponsored programming as well as the student usage of the John R. Yurtchuk Student Center.  All students in good academic standing are encouraged to join in extracurricular activities including the Student Government Association, Greek fraternities and sororities, honor societies, special interest groups, academic student organizations, and student publications. These extracurricular activities provide development of leadership skills and social interaction outside of the classroom.

Student Government Association

The single most important element in the student self-governing process at Daemen University is the Student Government Association (SGA). All students are ipso facto members of the Student Government Association, and the Student Activities fee, collected by the University provides the budget with which the Student Government Association operates its comprehensive programs and cooperative efforts with administrators and faculty to enhance the social and academic life of the University.

Each spring Daemen University holds an election for the four Student Government Association Executive Board members and four of the five class representatives.  The first-year class representative is elected at the beginning of the fall semester. These five representatives together with the four-member Executive Board comprise the nine-member Student Government Association Senate.

The purpose of the Student Government Association Senate is to act as students’ official representative, to articulate students’ views, and to advocate for students’ best interests with the administration, faculty, other campus groups, and the community in general.  The Student Association Senate also votes on recognized student organization funding requests and works closely with the Student Activities Office on all aspects of campus programming.

Publications

Students interested in writing, photography, art, and graphic design produce Daemen’s online newspaper, The Insight, and the University’s literary magazine, Iconoclast.   These publications provide an opportunity for students in any major to develop additional marketable skills and contribute to collegial discourse and student life.

Intercollegiate Athletics, Intramurals, and Club Sports

Area Social Activities and Recreation

Social gatherings and events, plays, movies, concerts, lectures, recitals, and art exhibits are scheduled on campus throughout the year. Eleven colleges and universities in the area provide constant opportunities for social and cultural enrichment. The Buffalo area is well known for its architectural and historical heritage; its cultural vitality in the form of art galleries, history, and science museums, a zoo and a botanical garden, theaters, clubs, music groups, and a wonderful philharmonic orchestra; and its professional football, hockey, lacrosse, and baseball teams. Scores of good restaurants cater to almost every taste in dining, from gourmet to fast-food, with a wide diversity of cuisines and cultures represented. There are theme parks at Darien Lake and Niagara Falls. Lake Erie and Lake Ontario beaches provide swimming and boating. Cross-country ski and hiking trails are everywhere in suburban Buffalo, with downhill ski slopes an hour’s drive away. The Genesee River Gorge, the Finger Lakes, and the Southern Tier woods and waterways offer nearby outdoor recreation all year. The Artpark, Chautauqua, and Niagara-on-the-Lake festivals and special events enrich Western New York’s cultural and intellectual life. The city’s metropolitan area bus system serves the campus and the subway runs from downtown Buffalo to a point on Main Street a mile away from Daemen.

Student Success Center

The Student Success Center (SSC) includes the Office of Academic Advisement, Academic Support and Engagement, Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Program, and Accessibility Services. The SSC is located on the first floor of the Research and Information Commons (RIC), (716) 839-8228.

Academic Advisement

All students are assigned advisors – full-time faculty in the department of each student’s declared major – who are available during registration periods and throughout the academic year to assist students. Students who have not yet declared a major are advised by professional staff advisors in the Office of Academic Advisement. Academic advisors and faculty advisors are available to help students make appropriate decisions related to scheduling, course sequencing, degree requirements, changing majors, and other university regulations.

The Academic Advisement office works closely with students and offers guidance on academic, personal, and social matters. Academic Advisement staff monitor students’ academic progress,  assist students with their adjustment to the University, maintain close contact with the faculty, and provide special counseling to students on academic probation.

Academic Support and Engagement

Academic coaching (tutoring) services are free for all Daemen students.  Academic coaches – experienced peers who have been recommended by faculty and completed a training program – are available for course content, writing, and study techniques.  A Writing Specialist is available to work with undergraduate and graduate students to improve their writing skills.

Natsci Educational Resource Direction (NERD) is an academic support for selected natural science courses. NERD assistance methods vary by course and may include opportunities to post questions on discussion boards, video resources on current lecture topics, study strategy guides, and face-to-face Words with NERDS (walk-in sessions where students can speak with upper division NERD Guides about course content application).

Students are encouraged to meet with the Director of Academic Support and Engagement to discuss study skills information, including strategies for overcoming academic difficulties. At Academic Support and Engagement, you will find help with time management/procrastination, techniques for memory improvement, strategies for test taking, and information about your personal learning style.

Accessibility Services

Students with permanent or temporary disabilities may confidentially self-disclose to Accessibility Services via email: access@daemen.edu or by phone: 716-839-8228. This begins the interactive process to determine reasonable and appropriate accommodations within the academic setting or the campus environment (student housing, dining, etc.). Reasonable accommodations are determined on a case-by-case and course-by-course basis and may not fundamentally alter the nature of a program, course, program, or activity. 

Please see Accommodation of Students with Disabilities and Disability Documentation Guidelines for more information.

Students have the opportunity to attend many programs on campus, including Recruiters on Campus, professional panel discussions, resume preparation workshops, and networking events.

Career Services works closely with Global Programs to support international internships as a stand-alone opportunity or added as part of the international educational experience. Students should meet with a Career Services Adviser to explore these opportunities. Information about these programs is also provided by GPO throughout the academic year.

Daemen Access

Many courses mix web content, online discussion groups, and other electronic resources with traditional lectures and in-class discussions, for a rich and varied learning environment. In order to access all of that, students and faculty are issued a Daemen account. This account is what grants entry to our systems and high-speed network, and most of the systems we use, such as Blackboard, Self-Service, and MyDaemen, are accessible anywhere.

Personal Computing

Computing can play an integral part in a Daemen education. While there is no requirement for students to buy a computer, over 90% of our students have their own, with most being laptops. If you are planning to get your own, either Windows or Mac will work. It is recommended you have 16gb RAM & 256gb SSD (or NVMe), but not required.

We do not suggest Chromebooks.

Computer Labs

If you do not have a personal computer, there are open computer labs located in the Research & Information Commons and the Business Building. These labs contain Windows computers configured with a standard software package and high-speed internet access. During the fall and spring semesters, these labs are open 118 hours each week.

For students taking classes in Animation, Graphic Design, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Psychology, there are additional computers available in those Departmental labs.

Network

Our campus operates on a 1gbps network, which is accessible across all offices, classrooms, labs, and residence halls via Ethernet and/or Wireless. Students living on campus can access this high-speed network free of charge.

Software

Daemen University is a Google campus and thus utilizes their suite of applications for email (Gmail), web browsing (Chrome), documentation (Docs, Sheets, Slides), storage (Drive), and video communication (Meet). Daemen also has licensing agreements with Adobe, Microsoft, IBM SPSS, and others to provide our students, faculty, and staff with access to the most widely used productivity software.

Instructional Technology

Each classroom has a teaching station equipped with a computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, projector, and audio equipment. Some specialized rooms have additional features. Faculty may use computer lab classrooms for hands-on computer instruction, or use cart-based wireless laptops to turn any conventional classroom into a computer lab.

Nancy Haberman Gacioch Center for Veterans

The Gacioch Center for Veterans at Daemen University is dedicated to supporting the success of veteran scholars and eligible family members throughout their postsecondary education journey. Our mission is to coordinate a comprehensive range of services that address their academic, financial, physical, and social needs. As a designated Military Friendly School and participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program, we are deeply committed to providing exceptional service to those who have bravely served our country, as well as their eligible beneficiaries.

We understand that transitioning from military service to civilian life, including the challenges of pursuing a university degree, can be demanding for both students and their loved ones. Our professional staff collaborates with various departments to offer assistance throughout the admissions process, provide financial information, deliver academic support and advice, and act as liaisons with other campus offices, including those catering to students with unique needs. Furthermore, the Center can guide students in navigating resources available through the Veterans Administration and other community organizations.

In order to receive veteran’s educational benefits, students must undergo certification by the School Certifying Official. It is vital for students to promptly notify the Certifying Official of any changes in enrollment, major, or other pertinent information. Compliance with federal regulations is closely monitored by the Certifying Official, who assesses attendance and performance. Should a student fail to meet performance and/or degree progress or pursuit policies, the Certifying Official retains the authority to terminate educational benefits. This measure upholds the program’s integrity and ensures accountability.

The Gacioch Center for Veterans is available 24/7, providing round-the-clock support and assistance to meet the needs of our veteran scholars and eligible family members. It is a dedicated veteran student lounge that provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for study, dialogue, and rest.
