Who are commuters?
Commuter students are ALL students
who live off-campus. This includes undergraduate commuters, graduate students, non-traditional students, students with children, and transfer students.

But just because you don't live here, doesn't mean SMU isn't home. So we want to be sure you know all of the services and resources available for you!
