Commuter Resources

É«ÇéÂÛ̳ provides resources to support commuter students, including a Commuter Lounge, meal plans, study and gathering spaces, lockers, and health insurance.

Commuter Lounge

RWU's NEW Commuter Lounge is located in front of Lower Commons in The Commons building and is a space dedicated to commuters and off campus commuters. It is located in the central of campus providing commuters a comfortable space to meet students, study, or relax between classes. The space is equipped with a TV, nearby lockers, a computer with a printer, full refrigerator, keurig, a water kettle and a microwave.

Study and Gathering Spaces

In addition to the Commuter Lounge, there are study and lounge spaces across campus to relax, prepare, or meet with other students between classes. These spaces include:

    North Campus Residence Hall (1st floor snack area, 2nd floor Great Room)
    Global Heritage Hall (Ground floor Starbucks, and spaces throughout building)
    Lower Commons (Dining Hall)
    Hawks’ Nest, in the Recreation Center
    Library
    South Campus Lounge in Cedar Hall (pool table and study space)


Health Insurance

Access to health care is often a concern of students and parents as students depart for college. We at É«ÇéÂÛ̳ are actively involved in the health and well-being of our students.  All full-time undergraduate commuter students are eligible to be seen at Health Services. Students who do not confirm enrollment or waive coverage by will be automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan after the effective date.

Please be aware that no refunds will be issued after the deadline.
