Commuter
Services
Commuters at Stevens are
a special breed of students, and they deserve their own special
section. This section will familiarize commuters
with this lifestyle, and help make the adjustment
as pleasant as possible. There is also a very active
student organization, the Stevens Commuter Council,
which represents the interests of commuting students,
helps orient new commuters, arranges social activities
and makes sure that commuters get a fair shake in
all aspects of student life.
There are two basic ways to commute to Stevens public
transportation (trains and buses) and private transportation
(car or car pools).
New Jersey Transit
offers students discounted monthly commuter tickets,
through the Quik-Tik program: It's important to remember:
-You must sign up by the 10th of the month to receive your monthly pass for the travel in the next month. (Enrollment must be completed on or before the 10th of the previous month to receive the pass for the next month.)
-After you enroll for Quik-Tik, you will receive a new monthly pass in the mail each and every month unless you choose to suspend your account.
-If you choose to suspend your monthly pass (winter or summer break), you will need to reactivate your account once again through our secure Stevens Institute of Technology website (this will verify enrollment).
-Existing Quik-Tik Users
If you are an existing Student Quik-Tik customer, all you need to do is reactivate your account.
Here's how:
*Log into your Stevens'
Pipeline account and them go to the NJ TRANSIT Student Discount monthly pass page (Located on the school services tab).
* Enter required information (student pin, user ID, etc.), and you will be taken the NJ TRANSIT's Quik-Tik main page. Enter requested information.
* You are now at the "Account Summary" page. Scroll to the bottom to see your status information.
* Click on "Change Status."(br)
* Click on "Reactivate previously suspended monthly pass mailing" and click on the submit button.
After your account is reactivated, you will again receive monthly passes each month on an automatic basis until next May. You must enter Quik-Tik from Stevens NJ Transit website to reactivate your account. If you have any questions regarding reactivating your account, please contact us at 1-866-Quik-Tik.
Those stduents who commutte to Stvens with autombolie you will need to purchase a parking hangtag from the Campus Police. You can apply online through
Web for
Students.
The commuter student meetings during orientation offers the chance
to link up with fellow students in your neighborhood to
form car pools. Here you will receive an application for
a parking sticker. Freshmen who live on campus are denied
this privilege to park on campus. Please abide by the
rules and regulations found in the parking section of
this handbook.
Lockers, located on the first floors of the Morton and Peirce
buildings,
are available to commuters on a first-come, first-serve
basis. During orientation lockers may be reserved for
a small fee, payable at the Campus Store. Students must
provide their own combination locks. Occasionally, an
upperclassman may secure a lock on a temporary unclaimed
locker to avoid the rental fee. After a fair warning,
the lock will be removed by the administration.
The S.C.
Williams Library offers study rooms and
cubicles on the second floor as well as a slightly noisier
first floor area for possible study group meetings. There
are also lounges available in the first floor of
Jacobus
and Hayden Halls, and the second floor of the Wesley J.
Howe Center.
Although you commute you are still able to eat on campus.
Colonel Johns and the cafeteria, located in the Wesley
J. Howe Center, offer food to all Stevens students. You
can get on a meal plan like the residents, pay with cash,
or
purchase
duckbills. |

have included smaller instrumental groups, such as a
woodwind trio, brass ensemble or solo performances.
The department will lend full support to all
students who display an interest. It also provides
listening and practice facilities for the student
body in general. There is a stereo system available
for students to listen to their own records or any

horns, baritone horns, E-flat clarinet, baritone
saxophone, string bass, a full percussion set and a
