Commuters in N.C.

Commuter Support

If you commute to the Charlotte Campus, Student Engagement is your first stop. The office connects you with campus resources, answers questions about renting and living off campus and helps you work through problems — from orientation through graduation.

Commuting doesn’t mean spending less time on campus. Between classes you’ll need somewhere to eat, study, meet up with a group or just take a break, and Student Engagement can point you toward the spaces and services that make a long day on campus work.

Spaces for commuters include:

  • Commuter Lounge — Academic Center, Fourth Floor
  • Wildcat Center Den

Living Off-Campus

Seniors and other students eligible to live off campus can find off-campus housing resources in jwuLink. The resources cover how to start an apartment search, rental basics and budget planning, your rights and responsibilities as a renter and the utilities and services you’ll need to set up.

Be A Good Neighbor

Living off campus makes you part of two communities: JWU and your neighborhood. The Good Neighbor Policy covers what the university expects on noise, parking, property and alcohol, and how the Student Code of Conduct applies off campus.
