Commuters in R.I.

Commuter Support

The Student Engagement office serves and supports off-campus and commuter students at the Providence Campus in their academic and personal development. They provide advocacy, assistance and services for students who commute to and from the Downcity and Harborside campuses.

Whether a student needs to find a resource on campus, help with navigating off-campus living or guidance any time from orientation to graduation, they can connect with Student Engagement.

Living Off Campus

Senior students and any student eligible to live off campus can find resources for off-campus living in jwuLink. These resources cover how to start your apartment search,  rental basics and budget planning, understanding your rights and responsibilities as a renter and essential services for setting up your new place.

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.
