    ------------------------------WVU Commuter Student Handbook------------------------------ 1 Commuter STudent handbook WVU Commuter Student Programs http://studentlife.wvu.edu/commuter_student_programs 304-293-5611 2 ------------------------------WVU Commuter Student Handbook------------------------------ WELCOME COMMUTERS! As a commuter student at West Virginia University, you will likely face greater challenges than those first-year students who reside in the University residence halls. Many of you will try to balance coursework with a job, home life, and social life. While you may find this transition difficult, Commuter Student Programs at West Virginia University can help you transition into a successful WVU student. We provide commuters with a lounge on the Downtown campus, which is a great place to hang out between classes and meet other commuters like you. We also hold much of our programming in the Commuter Lounge, including social events such as parties, and academic events, such as the Term Paper Clinic and Center for Writing Excellence presentations. We also have a second Commuter Lounge on the Evansdale campus, conveniently located in Mountaineer Station at the base of Health Sciences PRT station. Transportation and parking are also issues of concern for commuters, which is why Commuter Student Programs provides students with the most up-to-date parking and traffic information via the website, which is located at http://studentlife.wvu.edu/commuter_student_programs. Whether you are living with your parents and driving to campus or living in an apartment off-campus, it is a great idea to come up with a plan for parking before the semester begins. There are many parking options but limited spaces, so if you plan to bring a car to school, consider parking as soon as possible.
