Commuter-Student Information
Commuter students add diversity to the Goucher community. They have a different perspective to share, and the Office of Student Engagement encourages and assists commuters in exchanging ideas, concerns, and suggestions with college offices and student peers. All commuters are invited to come to monthly commuter event to relax, unwind, and mingle with fellow commuters. If you have any questions or need more information, please e-mail Christine Krieger, give her a call at 410-337-6422, or stop by the Office of Student Engagement.
At Goucher, it's not difficult to find ways to get involved outside of the classroom. Every day, there are a variety of free and inexpensive social events, including athletic events, lectures, and performances. You could work on campus, join an organization, or create your own club. Or maybe get involved in the community with volunteer opportunities. Whatever you're interested in it, there's a way at Goucher to get involved in it. Go here to peruse your many options, or see what's going on around town here.

The lockers are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must provide their own locks.
The Front Gate (main) entrance located on Dulaney Valley Road is open 24 hours a day. When the college is in full academic session, security officers monitor all incoming vehicular traffic from 7:30 p.m. until 6 a.m. All drivers must stop their vehicles and check in with the officer every time they enter campus. The registration decals on community members' cars are their passes onto campus. You may call the Safety and Security Office at 410-337-6112 for access to nonresidential buildings after hours. They will also provide an escort to any on-campus destinations during the hours of darkness.
Student vehicles must be registered by the end of the first week of classes at the Department of Safety and Security in Heubeck Hall.

There is a $50/year or $35/semester fee for student vehicle registration.
The One Card, Goucher's multifunctional ID card, offers students a wide variety of point-of-sales debit services. Much like an electronic checkbook, money in a student's One Card account is debited as needed with the swipe of a card. Debit transactions offered are meal plans, bookstore purchases, post office, laundry facilities, vending purchases, security, the health center, and various off-campus vendors.
