Commuter Students
All full-time undergraduate students (registered for 12 or more hours per semester) at Ashland University are required to live on campus. However, a student who meets at least one of the housing exemptions may apply for off-campus housing by submitting an off-campus housing application through the Office of Residence Life.
For your convenience, we provide commuter students with a lounge, lockers and access to parking; you may be required to obtain a permit for your vehicle.

Commuter Lockers
You may reserve a locker via Engage Ashland for fall and spring semesters. However, you must remove your personal lock and items from the locker immediately after spring semester finals. Items you do not remove will be discarded.

Commuter Parking
If you attend classes before 5 p.m. on weekdays, you must secure a parking permit and register your vehicle with Safety Services to park on campus. If your classes do not begin before 5 p.m. on weekdays, you are not required to purchase a permit to park on campus, but you must adhere to the AU parking policies for students.
