Commuter & Transfer Commons

A dedicated space in the HUB providing services to students who commute or have transferred to the UW.

The Commuter & Transfer Commons (CTC) also arranges events throughout the year to build community among students who live off-campus. We are ready to welcome you to the Husky Union Building in person. Please note, you will need a Husky ID Card to swipe your ID to enter the space.  

The CTC is open for autumn quarter Monday–Friday.

Our Resources

Kitchenette

Day Use Lockers

Store your heavy books and backpack in our lockers. Space is big enough to fit a bike helmet and/or motorcycle helmet. Lockers are day-use check out only and are offered on a first-come first-serve basis, but commuter and transfer students have priority. HUB offers long-term locker rentals.
