The Commuter Form available below must be submitted to the Department of Residence Life prior to the halls opening date for the first semester in which the student wants to commute.

Students who have moved into the halls for the academic year are required to fulfill the full duration of their signed Residence Hall Contract and are not eligible to commute until the duration of that contract is fulfilled. Submission of a commuter form does not imply nor guarantee that the request will be granted; students should assume that their request has not been granted until they receive written confirmation from the Department of Residence Life.

Students who have not been officially granted commuter status are cautioned not to make arrangements to commute from the address of their parents or legal guardian, as they may not receive commuter status.

Off Campus Commuter 

If you're contemplating moving off campus, you must first make sure you are eligible to live outside of the residence halls. View the requirements posted in Residence Life.
