Community Resource Guide
Campus Resources
To enhance relationship-building with our community, we offer programs, infrastructures, events, and activities open to our community members. This page provides information for community members interested in utilizing Millersville University resources, or who need information on accessing resources that are not available to the general public.
This guide will provide information on how to access and use some of our facilities that may not be open to the public. However, as a community member, you may be able to buy a pass, reserve a spot to participate, or host your next educational event. Community members may find information on how to access the Millersville University's recreation center, library, gym, and dining services. We will continue to update this page regularly to reflect updated resources and upcoming community events to choose from.
SMC Recreation Center
Community members can purchase a membership pass to participate in Intramurals and the Open Climb Hours at the Ropes Course which are available to all current MU students, faculty, and staff. External groups can schedule programs for the Ropes Course and can rent facility space. Both of which involve a contract and fee.
Counseling Services
Counseling services are only available to Active MU Students with a Valid Identity card. Community members may find other relevant mental health resources available to the public on the link below. Counseling Center Page

Transportation options for senior citizens
For senior citizens, getting around can be challenging. Seniors Ride Free provides transportation solutions that simplify the lives of senior citizens in our community. Senior Shared Ride is another transportation option for the seniors.
Handshake and CareerShift
Handshake, CareerShift: Non-degree auditing students that paid the general fee would be able to access single-sign-on services during the semester of their enrollment by using their email address or MU ID to log into Handshake and CareerShift.
Library
Anyone may come into the library and use our resources within the building. However, only Millersville students, faculty, staff, retired faculty, and Millersville affiliates have complete borrowing privileges and access to databases from outside the building.
Millersville alumni may join the library as a community member for an annual fee of $25.00. Community members may borrow up to 10 items at a time with one renewal. However, community members do not have access to Millersville Library databases outside the building.
The HUB
At the HUB, community members can take a break and drink free coffee or tea. The HUB also accepts food items and monetary donations from community members to support students and create a hunger-free campus. Learn More
