Abstract

The focus of this study is on commuter students in higher education. Commuter students make up a majority of today’s college campuses so focusing on their success is key to running a successful institution. Commuter students are not getting involved in campus activities and rarely utilizing campus resources. Commuter students can be described as low in engagement which predicts relatively poorer academic and graduation outcomes. The goal of this project is to learn more about the barriers and disincentives to commuter student engagement.
