The University is committed to providing quality services and opportunities for participation in co- and extra-curricular activities to all students, including those who commute to the campus from their homes in the community. The members of this group constitute nearly one-half of all Concordia University Chicago undergraduates and make invaluable contributions in the classrooms, on athletic teams and in student organizations. Commuting students are strongly encouraged to take full advantage of all the resources the University has to offer, as well as suggesting ways the University could strengthen its ties with the commuting population.
