La Salle University Division of Student Affairs

The Commmunity Coordinator for Off-Campus and Commuter Students is an advisor and liaison for students who commute from home or live in off-campus apartments or houses. As a part of the off-campus community, the Coordinator for Off-Campus and Commuter Students also works to provide University resources to off-campus and commuter communities. The Coordinator also works with students to help mediate landlord or neighborhood concerns and to advocate for commuter and off-campus needs.

The Brother Augustine Center for Off-Campus and Commuter Students, 5632 Uber Street, houses the Coordinator’s office and includes a resource/lounge/small meeting area. The center also provides resources for students including available houses and apartments in the area and other resources for students seeking housing off-campus. In addition, the center also provides resources for students commuting to campus including public transportation maps, La Salle Shuttle schedules and information about parking on campus. The center also maintains a list serve of all off-campus and commuter students (using the La Salle email system) to provide students with periodic emails with upcoming events, information and updates.

The Commuter and Off-Campus Student Association (CAOS) plans social and educational activities so that students may become involved, meet one another, and be connected to campus. Look for upcoming meetings in the fall. The Community Coordinator for Off-Campus and Commuter Students advises CAOS. To become involved, contact the Brother Augustine Center.

The University wants to promote positive relationships between students and other neighbors. The Community Coordinator for Off-Campus and Commuter Students works closely with our Neighborhood Liaison to meet the needs of students and neighbors. Students are expected to learn the norms of the community in which they reside and to foster positive relationships with neighbors. When an incident occurs off campus, Community Development staff members are notified by Security or other individuals. The Resident Director on duty and/or the Coordinator on call decides whether immediate response is necessary. If not, the Community Coordinator for Off-Campus and Commuter Students will contact the student residence to gather more information and offer assistance or take disciplinary action soon afterward.
