Some students simply come to campus, attend classes, then depart for jobs or home. Others become actively involved in one or more of the student organizations recognized by the Student Government Association (SGA). Commuter students have a number of elected student representatives in the Student Government Association to ensure that commuter students have a voice on campus. Commuters are also encouraged to participate in all campus clubs, organizations and activities. There are designated programs and activities specifically for commuter students planned throughout the year.

The Commuter Lounge, on the lower level of the George M. Lawson Academic Center, includes vending machines, lockers, couches, study tables, and kitchenette. In addition, commuter students are also encouraged to utilize the Hill Freeman Library as well as the lounge areas in the Dobb Science Center, Hasty Student Life Center, Smith-Johnston Hall.

If you plan to have a car on campus, you must apply for a parking permit from Public Safety. Choose “Parking Permit” located in the left hand navigation. Parking is available for commuter students in five locations: the commuter lot, which is directly across the street from the Administration Building, the Hagan Chapel and Falany Performing Arts Center parking area, in non-reserved spaces at the Gymnasium, and in the Gordy Hall/Roberts Hall parking lot.
