Commuting
Students Welcome To Fayetteville State University!
It may be surprising to know
that the majority of students attending Fayetteville State
University are commuting students! As a commuter, you may
not be able to spend as much time on campus as other students.
However, you are still a very important part of the student body!
You need to be informed of several concerns involving both
transportation and campus.
SERVICES
AVAILABLE
TO COMMUTING STUDENTS
As a commuter student, many services are provided
for you. Since you may not
be able to return home between classes, inquire about lounges, study carrels,
and lockers for your books and supplies (Lockers are found downstairs in the
Rudolph Jones Student Center’s Game room and in the entrance to the
University Book Store). Become
familiar with the places to eat on campus (the cafeteria is located in the
Rudolph Jones Student Center).

A student ID is one of the most important items to have on campus!!!!!
Don’t think that
just because you don’t live on campus, you don’t need a student ID!
Student IDs are used not only as identification, but also as a library card,
for meal plan verification, and discounts at student events.
Fayetteville State University will process student IDs during the beginning of
the term and replace them if they are lost for a small fee.
Remember, Don’t leave home without your Student Identification card!!!!!!

COMMUTING CONSIDERATIONS!!!!!!!
Before the semester begins,
map out where your classes will be held, how long it will take you to arrive,
and what parking lots are available. A
few weeks before classes begin, take test-runs at different times of the day
to see how long your transportation time will be. However, you should be aware that traffic will increase after classes
begin.
Research your
commuting options!
These include:
Bus
(call FAST - Fayetteville Area Transit System for
bus schedule 433-1747)
Car pool or ride share
Driving your own vehicle
Seek out the transportation solutions
that appeals to you the most (i.e. the least expensive, closest to
your home, fastest travel time).

general automobile maintenance and safety considerations.
Lock doors

If you think you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station or in

store.

CAMPUS PARKING
Parking on campus can be
limited. Sign up early or share
driving responsibilities with other students (Rides share/carpool). It is not advisable to park in campus parking lots without having a
parking permit, however tempting it may be. Parking permits usually come in the form of a cardboard hanger.
Without this permit, you risk the danger of being given a citation or
even having your automobile towed. For more information on parking
contact Campus Police/ Public Safety at 672-1341 or visit their website
