Commuting Students

Check out the Transfer & Commuter Lounge!

The Transfer & Commuter Lounge is located on the first floor of the Campus Center and is a large, welcoming, and relaxing space equipped with lockers, study desks, and comfortable seating areas to accommodate commuter students. The lounge also serves as a social hub for transfer, commuter, and non-traditional students to meet, plan activities, and study.

Communter Locker Rentals

Lockers are available for rental in the Campus Center 1st Floor Transfer & Commuter Lounge and the 3rd Floor corridor. Lockers sign ups occur at the start of the academic year and are for one academic year only. The fee to rent a locker is $40 payable in cash or check to the Campus Center Management office in Campus Center 137. $10 of the fee will be returned to the rentee at the end of the rental term if the locker is deemed to be in a condition comparable to what it was at the start of the rental term. Lockers are assigned on a first come first serve basis and are open only to registered commuter students for the month of September. Lockers that are still available on October 1 will be assigned to any registered student.
