Commuter Student Resources

If you've decided to commute to campus, you'll find that our course selection is large enough so you can schedule courses to meet your busy schedule. And, our parking is plentiful so you won't spend extra time trying to find a space.

We also have many cozy and comfortable areas on campus where you can read, study or just relax in between classes. And we've listed answers to few of the more frequently asked questions that we get from commuters.

Q: Can I get a locker on campus?

A: Yes, inquire at the Hanley Library information desk.
