What is a Commuter Student?

The University of Memphis defines a Commuter Student as one who DOES NOT live on campus or in any University-owned property, and must utilize various modes of transportation to travel to and from classes.

Commuter students comprise roughly 90% of the entire student population at The University of Memphis. Whether you live in Millington, in a single-family home in Cordova, at home with your parents or in an apartment just down the street, Adult and Commuter Student Services has resources available to serve your needs.
