Commuter Students
At Wheelock, we realize that our commuter population is an integral part of our community. Approximately 30 % of our undergraduate student population is comprised of students commuting to and from Wheelock. Commuter students are encouraged to take an active role in the community through Academics, participating in the various Clubs & Organizations, Student Activities, Athletic teams, Leadership roles and any other channel that expresses their creative and intellectual potential through involvement in programs and activities.
These pages have been specifically designed for our commuter students, to help them access important information to make their experience at Wheelock easier and more complete.
Lockers
Commuter lockers are located on the lower level of Peabody Hall. Commuting students may choose a locker to occupy for the entire academic year. Once you've chosen a locker, please alert the Student Development Office with the locker number you've chosen. Lockers must be emptied at the end of the Spring semester, or the lock will be clipped and contents will be emptied out.
Mailboxes
All undergraduate commuters are assigned an on-campus student mailbox. These mailboxes are located in the Student Center. Commuters may pick up their on campus mailbox keys from the Office of Residence Life at the beginning of each semester. Students are strongly encouraged to check their on-campus mail, as many important documents are sent to their on-campus mailboxes as opposed to their home address.
Dining
Commuting students may put money onto their Wheelock ID card through dining services for use at either the Peabody Dining Hall or The Riverway Cafe. Money is then deducted from the deposited balance with each use. For information on dining hall and cafe hours of operation, please contact Sodexho at (617) 879-2404.
For a complete description of the Sedexho dining services meals and meal plans, go to the dining services website.
Public Transportation
Wheelock College is conveniently located just a block away from the Fenway T stop on the Green Line. For a map and schedule of the T, click onto the MBTA's website.
Each semester, students are offered an 11% discount on monthly T-Passes.
There are strict deadlines set by the MBTA when these forms
are due. Please contact the Student Development Office
for details.
Parking
Due to limited parking spaces on campus, students are not permitted to park in any of the on-campus lots unless you have purchased a parking permit. Students with permits may only park on campus between 5:00 pm and 7:00 am.
Students may also take advantage of the numerous parking & transportation options available through MASCO, of which Wheelock is a part. For information on parking and shuttle bus services, click onto MASCO's website.
