C-50 The Commuter Meal Plan

Community Bus Service

FSA offers a special $50 meal plan just for commuter students. The C-50 point plan can be purchased at anytime during the semester.
Commuter students actually have several options in selecting an FSA meal plan. Nonresidential students may choose from any of the meal plans offered to residential students or choose one of the point meal plans offered specifically for commuter students. Point meal plans are based on a declining balance.

For billing purposes, it is best to sign up for a meal plan during the first week of a new semester or before the semester starts. The C-50 point meal plan, however, can be purchased at anytime.

Contact the FSA Office, 1st Floor Gregory Hall for more information or visit their website at www.myfredcard.com/students/meal_plans.htm.

The campus community bus service is free for all enrolled SUNY Fredonia students. All you need is your Student ID card. It is available seven days a week while school is in session so that students have a way to get to school and get to almost any of the other places in Fredonia that they may need to go.

The Student Association runs a Coach USA bus which does a loop around the Fredonia campus, village and shopping centers about every 40 minutes Sunday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday the bus runs until 2:30 a.m., but after midnight until 2:30 it just goes back and forth from downtown Fredonia to the campus. (Excerpt from The Campus Report, Feb. 2006).


Bus schedules are available at the Central Ticket Office, the Student Association office and the Campus Life office, all located in the Williams Center.

Don't Just Survive, Thrive!   Become a CTS Tutor
College Tutoring Services, comprising the Learning Center, the Full Opportunity Program, Disability Support Services for Students, and the Educational Development Program, is now hiring tutors for the 2006/2007 academic year.
CTS tutors are each paid to work a scheduled number of drop-in hours in the Learning Center (from two to twelve) per week. Each tutor may also work from two to six hours assigned to one student per hour from one of the participating programs listed above. Tutors have a voice in selecting their own hours and are hired for the entire academic year.
Working as a tutor not only pays but has proven to be a golden credential for students seeking admission to graduate programs and competing for jobs, fellowships, and teaching positions.
Hiring is quite competitive, though the number of openings depends on both the demands for tutoring in a particular area and on openings created by tutors who are graduating. We hire a few sophomores who are doing very well in their majors and, naturally, look with special favor on those doing well in double majors.
Not all successful students have the time or inclination to take on a job as intense as peer tutoring. However, it has been our experience that SUNY Fredonia has a great many students with an interest in their academic fields and in other students as well.
Applications forms are available in the EDP office, the Learning Center, and on-line at www.fredonia.edu/tlc. The deadline for completed applications to be turned in to the Learning Center, 4th Floor, Reed Library is 5 p.m., Thursday, March 23, 2006.
