Commuter students are the heart of the BSU campus
Together, commuters comprise nearly 70% of all BSU students. The Off-Campus and Commuter Student Services Office (OCCSS) provides the resources commuters need to become successful and engaged members of our campus community.
Looking to get involved as a commuter student? Stop by OCCSS, located in Rondileau Student Union (RSU), room 007. We are committed to providing engagement opportunities, events, and services for our commuter population. Here at ÁÔÆæÖØ¿ÚÊÓƵ State University, there are more than 90 student clubs and organizations for you to explore — and that is just the beginning!

Smart Parking
BSU is happy to make available the Smart Parking App that can assist you with finding a parking spot when you arrive on campus. Your parking decal not only identifies you as a BSU bear but it will also help us count how many cars are entering and exiting both the Spring Street Lot, Swenson Lot and the Parking Garage. The Smart Parking App will display a heat map identifying the percentage of available parking remaining. We have rolled out this program in three of the four commuter lots for now but the hope is to have all lots included in the very near future. The Smart Parking map is available via the "Commuter Resources" Tile on the BSU Mobile App.
Your safety is BSU’s top priority, please do not use your cell phone while driving.
Lockers are provided on the ground floor of the Rondileau Student Union for commuter students and are a great service to assist you in your day-to-day routine while keeping your belongings safe.
