Rutgers University Commuter Life Services

The Rutgers University Commuter Life Services welcomes all new and returning commuter students.

There is a comprehensive range of services, support, and space for the thousands of commuter students that attend Rutgers University every year. The goals of Commuter Life Services are to:

Ensure that the needs of commuter students are acknowledged and addressed.
Provide designated spaces for commuter students to congregate.
Facilitate the integration of commuter students into student life and student activities.
Identify and encourage the academic achievement and leadership development of commuter students.

We encourage students to get involved in the Off-Campus Student Association
(O.C.S.A.) . The Off-Campus Student Association is a volunteer student organization whose primary interest is to advocate and fulfill the needs and interests of commuters and off-campus students through:

Involvement with governing boards throughout the University in order to assist in the implementation of policies that affect the off-campus population and the community at large.
Collaboration with other student organizations and committees throughout the Rutgers community.
Programming to promote student integration into the Rutgers community.
Recruitment and retention of members to ensure the longevity and vitality of the O.C.S.A.
