Chalon Commuter Services
Commuter students are an active and important part of the Mount community. Programs and services offered through our office are available to all full-time traditional undergraduate students. The following information is provided to keep commuter students informed of services and activities on campus:
Commuter Kitchen: Located in the McCarthy Complex, amenities include a refrigerator to store lunches, microwaves and sink for quick use on the go.
Commuter Mentor Program (CMP): Commuter Mentor Program is designed to aid first-year commuter students socially and academically by having them establish a relationship with a mentor, who serves as a leader and resource that connects mentees to the various resources available on- and off-campus.
Computer Labs: Commuters may use the computer in the Coe library on the 2nd – 4th floors.
Commuter Retreat: This is an opportunity for first-year commuter students to connect with upper division commuter student leaders and learn tips on how to make the transition to college, get involved on-campus and be successful.
Fax: Commuters may send outgoing faxes for free in H-200A.
Information Bulletin Boards: Commuters can find information in bulletin boards located on the first and second floor of the Humanities Building and in McCarthy Complex facing the Commuter Kitchen.
Lockers: Lockers are available for commuter students in the Humanities building on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors. Lockers are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Students provide their own padlock and clean out their locker at the end of the academic year. Items remaining in lockers after the designated deadline will be discarded. Sign up in the Student Programming and Commuter Services office.
Meals: Commuter students can save money and dine in a beautiful setting by purchasing a meal plan from four meal plan options. Meal plans can be purchased online via the Food Services Portal page, at the Food Service office located in Leavey Commons on the ground floor or in any café.
Meal Voucher Program: Commuter students experiencing economic hardship may apply for the Meal Voucher Program for free meals in the Café. Contact Student Programming and Commuter Services for more information.
Off-Campus Housing Listing: A list of housing opportunities near the Mount (Brentwood, Santa Monica, and West Los Angeles) is available in the Student Programming and Commuter Services office or on the Commuter Services Portal page. The listing includes those searching for roommates, apartments, guesthouses, rooms in private homes, and rooms in exchange for services.
Study/gathering areas: The campus offers a number of gathering and study areas for commuter students. The Student Lounge offers a comfortable atmosphere with couches, study tables, cable television and computers with internet access. Leavey Patio located outside of the student dining room and patios outside the Campus Center and Humanities 2nd Floor are good outdoor study areas. The Library and Circle offer additional study areas.
Transportation options: Commuter students may utilize the free intercampus shuttle that travels between the Doheny and Chalon campuses. For commuter students who rely on public transportation, the Mount local shuttle service picks up students on Sunset Blvd. Students interested in arranging a carpool, may enroll in Zimride.
