Commuters make up a large, diverse segment of the College community; therefore, the goal of the Student Affairs Staff is to provide resources, services and programs that enhance the experience of all commuters.
Commuter students now have the opportunity to become involved in college life to the full extent gaining leadership, communication, and organizational skills, as well as team playing ability. We hope you will become involved today! Contact the Office of Student Activities located in the upper level of the Cosgrave Student Center for more information.

Commuter Dining Options
Commuters are welcome to use Cosgrave Center Dining Hall for all meals. Menus and prices are posted outside the entrance. A weekly ticket may be purchased in the dining hall. Commuter block meal plans are also available in increments of 50 and 30 blocks per semester. Meal blocks can be used during any meal in the dining hall. Commuters may also take advantage of Gonzaga’s MAC Shack, also located in the Cosgrave Student Center. Cash or Mountie Money is accepted at the MAC Shack.
