Root Explanation

Noncampus → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "campus" (from Latin, meaning field or open space). The word "noncampus" refers to an area that is not a campus or does not belong to a campus.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'campus' meaning 'field' — so noncampus refers to an area that is not a field or space associated with a campus.
