Commuter Students

Why do commuter students need to attend Fall Welcome?

It is especially important for commuter students to participate in Fall Welcome. Since commuters do not live on campus, they do not receive as much exposure to campus resources and happenings as students who live in the residence halls.

Fall Welcome is a fantastic way for commuters to become familiar with campus, learn how to get involved, and discover key resources for their first semester. All of these elements are crucial to a student's success his/her first semester. Additionally, commuters will meet other students and make social connections that will help them ease the transition from high school to college.

The Fall Welcome fee for commuter students is $165.

Where will commuters check-in?

Commuters participating in special programs will check-in on Monday, August 27 at the Bernhard Center at 4 p.m.

Commuters participating in Fall Welcome only (not enrolled in special programs) will check-in on Tuesday, August 28 at the Bernhard Center at 4 p.m.

These students will then have a short welcome reception, then meet and have dinner with their small groups and group leader. Commuters are encouraged to stay for evening activities.

Students will receive a complete detailed schedule at check-in. Commuters will be given instructions from their group leader on where and when they will meet the following morning.
