Students commuting to Concordia’s campus from great distances have generally faced increased challenges in realizing their potential for full academic success and long-term persistence toward degree completion. If you live beyond a 20-mile radius from campus and still wish to commute to campus for classes and community life, please connect with your admission representative.

Final roommate and room assignments go out in mid-July.
