Commuter Resources

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.

If you have any questions about services available to commuting students, please stop by the Student Center Department office or call us at 860.832.1960.

Commuter Meal Plan

If you drive to campus...

• Get your FREE Central parking permit prior to the first day of classes if possible at the Card Office, located in Willard-DiLoreto Hall, Room D125. This way you will know your parking options and have the required tag to park.
• Consider planning your course schedule to avoid high traffic and parking times.
• Leave early. Allow plenty of time for traffic, parking and weather. Inclement Weather Page
• Make sure your car is always in proper working order; get frequent tune-ups. If you need a “jump” for your car's battery stop by the Student Center Information Desk, as we have a “jump box” you can borrow in exchange for your Blue Chip ID Card.
• Three Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are available for use at the Student Center Parking Lot off Ella Grasso Blvd.

Commuter Events

In order to support our majority-commuter population, the Student Center organizes and runs events from Monday-Thursday every week of the semester. The Commuter Assistant team works to create community and belonging on campus through a series of constantly changing activities, all of which are advertised on out Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/commutercentral/
