Q. As a commuter student do I have access to the Student Health Center?
A. Yes, the Student Health Center is available to all SU students. Consider using the Student Health Center if you don’t have insurance, get injured or sick on campus, or need to squeeze in a doctor’s appointment between your classes.
Q. Can I use the gym?
A. Yes, the gym is free to all students and is accessible even during breaks. Cancel your local gym membership and take advantage of the SU gym, pool, track, and other facilities!
Q. Can I stay in a friend’s room overnight?

Q. I live close by; can I keep my on-campus job over winter and summer breaks?

Q. What do I do if the weather is bad, and I haven’t left for campus?

Q. What should I do if the weather gets bad when I’m on campus?
A. Stay put and wait for the weather to clear. If you don’t think you can get home, see if one of your friends can let you stay in their room overnight. If you don’t have a place to stay, contact the Hawk Hub for assistance.
