Commuting from Home

Students living with parents/guardians within 30 miles of IWU who wish to commute from home to campus for classes must complete the Commute from Home Form and return it to the Office of Residential Life (ORL). Written signatures are required; digital signatures are not accepted.

Approvals are granted on an ongoing basis beginning each December.

Note: Commuting from Home is separate from the Off-Campus Request process, which applies to students who have completed six semesters in University-approved housing.

Students who commute from home typically receive financial aid covering only tuition and fees.
