Mission Statement

The Commuter Life office exists to provide opportunities and services to undergraduate commuter students at Azusa Pacific University in order to create a sense of belonging on campus that fosters personal development and academic success through cocurricular and extracurricular engagement.

Location

The Student Union, also known as the Cougar Dome, houses the Commuter Life office. The Student Union is one of the primary on-campus socialization and information hubs for the student community.

Fulfilling Our Mission

Commuter Life’s student leaders, known as Commuter Life Assistants (CLAs), and professional staff fulfill their mission by offering a variety of services and programs for commuters, including but not limited to free printing, lockers, and a variety of amenities. The office provides an environment in which students feel equipped to navigate university resources and ultimately find a sense of belonging on campus. The office regularly hosts commuter meals and other events to foster community engagement among commuter students.

Commuter Life also collaborates with other offices across campus to meet the needs of the university’s commuter student population. Many campus programs are geared toward enhancing the quality of the commuter student experience, offering special discounts and benefits to encourage commuter student involvement and attendance at campus events.
