Commuter Affairs serves the largest group of students on campus

Commuters are undergraduate, graduate, full-time, part-time and weekend students.

Any student who does not live in University-owned housing is considered a commuter.

The Office of Commuter Affairs supports this large and diverse population with activities, academic assistance, social connections and more.

The Commuter Center - Your Home Away from Home

The Commuter Center is a comfortable lounge where you can study, mingle, socialize with other commuter students. The lounge has a microwave, television, quiet study rooms, even a spot to take a nap. It is located near the Office of Commuter Affairs, on the first floor of the Duquesne Union.

Making Commuting Easy

Commuter students are a big part of the Duquesne student body. The programs and services of the Commuter Affairs office are designed to help you feel at home, and to ease your progress. We have our own academic assistance team, and commuter assistants who can help you over the rough spots.

Located on the first floor of the Duquesne Union, the office has many programs and services for commuting students and their families.

Greetings from Tim Lewis, Director of Commuter Affairs

We welcome all commuters to be part of the Duquesne family, and take part in the programming, academic and social services that we provide, just for you. We know the support that parents and families provide and welcome your interest.

We encourage you to review Duquese University's Mission Statement and  Expectations of Duquesne Students.
