Commuter Students

Hello, traveling Bearcats!

Student Affairs works to connect all Bearcats to our campus by sharing important resources, involvement opportunities, and other experiences to help you find your community and sense of belonging. We are working to continually grow resources, programming, and other opportunities for commuter students to get involved at UC.

Visit the Commuter Student Lounge

UC's newly-updated Commuter Student Lounge is located in Steger Student Life Center on the 6th Floor. The lounge includes various resources, including comfortable seating, television, tables, accessible charging outlets, games, whiteboard, sink, microwaves, and a printer. The lounge is open from 8am-10pm, Monday-Friday.

Attend Commuter Programming

Throughout this semester, we offer programs specifically for commuter students in the Commuter Student Lounge. The next three events are the “Campus Connections & Conversations” series. These will give you the opportunity to learn about resources in Student Affairs and meet with professional staff members to learn about their programs and opportunities to get connected!

Join us and grab some coffee and breakfest while exploring the lounge, getting to know other Bearcat commuters, and playing games! RSVP to these events below:
