Commuter Students

Commuter students are a huge part of our Saint Vincent community, making up one third of the total number of students in attendance. 

Our goal, under student affairs/commuter affairs is to make you feel at home while on campus. We offer a dedicated lounge space (Citrone Family Commuter Center), an active commuter club, and monthly newsletters on top of an Instagram and Facebook page, our commuter students are connected to campus life allowing them to participate and enjoy every aspect of being a college student.

We have dedicated staff available for commuter students, who are available to assist when needed, as well as a Graduate Assist assigned to Commuter Affairs with office hours in the Citrone Family Commuter Center. Contact information is listed below.
