Commuter Students
Connecting with the On-Campus Community
Whether you are a freshman living at home, an upperclassman, living off campus, or married with kids, the Grace community is your community. We invite and encourage you to spend time on campus outside the classroom and get connected in as many ways as possible.
Activities for Everyone
We want Grace to be your home away from home. Student activities, athletic events, and campus life are for all students whether they are residents or commuters. Take advantage of the fitness center and intramural athletics to keep in shape. Connect with students at chapel, the student commons, the student lounge, or the library. Enjoy your meals in the dining hall with students, staff, and faculty. Join a club, committee, small group, or other student-led groups to enhance your experience at Grace.
Commuter Meal Plans
Enjoy delicious meals prepared for you by our professional dining staff whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner when you sign up for a commuter meal plan. Check out this form for more information and to select a meal plan for the semester. Commuter students are also welcome to eat food brought from home in Grace’s dining hall.
Inclement Weather Policy
Information regarding campus-wide class cancellations will be posted on local television and distributed through the on-campus alert system. For a variety of reasons, Grace Christian University rarely cancels classes due to inclement weather. Commuter students who believe conditions are unsafe to drive to campus due to inclement weather are expected to communicate this to professors by the end of the scheduled class session in order to be granted an exception to the attendance policy.
Commuter Lounge
There is a space just for you in the JAC academic building. The student lounge is the perfect place to relax, connect with other students, and get work done between classes, or in your downtime. Enjoy various comfortable seating options, and a group meeting room perfect for study sessions or projects. There is also a mini-fridge and microwave available for your convenience.
