Off-Campus Student Services (OCSS)

Off-Campus Student Services (OCSS) provides a wide range of resources, services and programs designed to enrich the educational experience of off campus students. Our goal is to engage off-campus students in co-curricular activities thereby enhancing their overall development. Students living off-campus can find MTA information and schedules, area maps, off-campus housing options and commuter-friendly programs such as Good Morning Commuters, Commuter Appreciation Day, Finals Breakfasts and the Ride Board. We will also assist you in addressing questions and concerns you may have in your off-campus living situation.

 

Resources

Commuter students can find MTA information and schedules, area maps and off-campus housing options in University Union, 217. OCSS also publishes the Off-Campus Housing Guide that assists students in addressing questions and concerns that may arise in off-campus living situations.

Services

OCSS facilitates the transition of TU students into surrounding communities with the Off-Campus Living Fair held annually in February, allowing students to gather information from local apartment complexes and businesses servicing the Towson community. OCSS also collaborates with Housing and Residence Life to provide off-campus housing listings for both housing wanted and available. Looking for a ride? Have a ride to offer? The Ride Board is available through the OCSS Web site, www.towson.edu/commuters.

Programs

OCSS provides programs to connect non-residential students with the campus community. OCSS hosts commuter-friendly programs like Commuter Connections for first-year students, Commuter Appreciation Day, Finals Fuel, and Good Morning Commuters, and supports the program initiatives of the Commuter Student Organization (CSO).  The CSO distributes monthly newsletters, participants in community service opportunities, and hosts programs for commuter students.
