A commuter student is someone who does not live on the Whittier College campus and travels to classes every day from on off-campus location via bus, car, bike, or walking. Approximately one half of Whittier students commute to campus.
Whether you are a first-time commuter or you are returning for another academic year, we want you to be successful and a part of the spirit, energy, and excitement of Whittier.
Whittier College offices are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the exception of the Department of Campus Safety, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Poets living off campus must still abide by all student policies and procedures set forth by Whittier's Student Life Division. Also, new and returning students who wish to live off campus must complete a Housing Exemption Form and submit it to the Office of Residential Life. Learn more about the policies for living off campus.
Every month, the Office of Student Engagement, the Office of Inclusive Excellence, the Associated Students of Whittier College (ASWC), and the Commuter Student Association host an opportunity for commuter students to meet-up, network, learn about campus events, and explore different parts of campus.
