Be Prepared.

Sign-up for Rave Alerts. RAVE is used for emergency communications from the university including inclement weather announcements. These are sent as text messages to those who opt in. |
 |
Purchase your Parking Pass. Parking on campus is identified by color coded signage. Students who are commuters will receive a red decal and are able to park in red parking lots. |
 |
Pick up your Rambler ID. Your Rambler Card is your official Shepherd University ID which gives you access to the Wellness Center, the 24-hour room at the Library, dining facilities, and more! |
Stay Informed.
Below are a few highlights for you to know before coming to campus. We have also provided navigation links to resources for commuter meal plans, study rooms, and other important resources on campus.
 |
Have a plan! Check the Weather App, Google/Apple Maps, and your email to stay informed on changes in the weather, traffic delays or class cancellations. |
 |
Take a break from studying! Commuters are welcome to use the Wellness Center between classes. Check in at the front desk to learn about locker room space, showers, and more. |
|
Know where to park! Commuters have access to Parking Lots A, C, L, F, G, and H. Be mindful that the parking meters belong to Town and not Shepherd. Once parked, jump on the the EPTA bus for a quick ride around campus. Check the EPTA schedule here. Use the Bus Tracker App for more convience. |
