Student Center Commuter Outreach

Commuter Outreach logo

A commuter student is someone that does not live in a Residence Hall. You are indeed a commuter if you live just across the street from campus, ten miles away, or in another town or city. This makes you a commuter.

There are many differences between commuters: age, racial/ethnic identity, family status, working status, how you get to campus, the distance you travel, and so much more. But no matter what the difference is, commuter students have many of the same concerns. If you are concerned about how you are getting to campus, time management, what you can do to get involved with campus life, how you can meet others, and so much more, Commuter Outreach is here to help you.

There are several offices of the Student Affairs division that strive to provide services and programs to assist commuting students to have full participation in campus life at CCSU. The department of Student Activities/Leadership Development is your resource to getting involved in student leadership positions and activities. Commuter students have representation in various organizations like the Student Government Association and the Student Union Board of Governors. SUBOG provides funding for programs for our commuting students which are held periodically throughout the year. At the beginning of each semester, the Student Center will host a social to give commuting students an opportunity to meet other commuters and learn of services on campus.

Other services available to you include: auto emergency equipment on loan from the Student Center Information Desk, meal plan options, University Shuttle Bus service, use of recreational facilities, and access to all academic and personal support services. If you have any questions about services available to commuting students, please stop by the Student Center Department office or call us at 832-1960.

    Getting Involved

    As a commuter you are probably wondering how you can get involved at Central Connecticut State University. There is so much you can do and feel even more a part of this University. The Commuter Service office plans a commuter coffee hour once a month. The coffee hours were once offered only in the mornings. Now we offer two this semester in the evening. They help you learn about the services we offer in our office and in other departments on campus. For more information stop by our office in the Student Center.

    Besides attending our coffee hours you can also get involved in other ways. You can share your energy, enthusiasm, and excitement, by getting involved in the Student Activities/Leadership Development Department. This office is located on the second floor of the Student Center. Here you will find a listing of over 100 active organizations and clubs on this campus. There is a variety to choose from; They range from recreational and sporting clubs, to social and cultural clubs, fraternities and sororities, and governmental organizations.
