Commuter Student Checklist
Commuters do not need bedding or a mini fridge, but a missed parking permit or a forgotten charger costs a whole day. This list covers what to sort before the first week and what to keep in your bag.

Tips
- Buy or register for parking early; permits can sell out or have deadlines before classes start.
- Drive your route once at the time of day you will actually travel, so the first morning is not a surprise.
- Ask about commuter lounges, lockers and quiet study rooms; they make long gaps between classes easier.
Questions
Do commuters get a move-in day?
No, but commuters still have a start-of-term list: parking or transit, student ID, portal login and orientation. Use this list as that checklist.
Every school is different. Open your school's guide from move-in dates or all universities, and confirm details with your housing office. How we verify.
