on the on the second floor of the University Center, Room
236. This department offers a variety of services and programs
for the University of Miami commuter student. For more information,

The Association of Commuter (ACS) is a second home for its
members; a place to bond with fellow students and to participate
in all that the University of Miami has to offer. ACS provides
its members with a working knowledge of UM that gives them
the opportunity to become fully involved in campus life. Brought
together by a simple fact of life, commuting to school, ACS
members have forged bonds that extend beyond this common circumstance.
If you would like further information on joining this very
active student group, please visit their website at http://www.miami.edu/studorgs/acs/.
The Commuter Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of students
organized to voice the concerns of the off-campus/commuter
to the administration and to plan programs focused specifically
for the off-campus community. CAB offers leadership
roles to commuter students as well as provides commuter students
with information and guidance about off-campus life. CAB
organizes the annual Commuter Community Meeting in addition
to the Off-Campus Housing and Roommate Fair. If you are interested
in joining, please visit the Commuter Student Involvement
web site.
Great Start is an overnight, pre-orientation program designed
to promote and emphasize college adjustment and campus involvement
opportunities. The program's goal is to help you feel like
a part of the University and give you a chance to meet other
commuter students. Students who participated in Great Start
have said the program greatly contributed to a positive transition
from high school to college. Several of the participants
return to the program to serve as Great Start Counselors.
