Plan Ahead
When scheduling your time, make sure to factor in:
- There is a $45 fee each way due at the time of shuttle registration
- Travel time to the airport (up to 90 minutes with heavy traffic)
- Allow time to check in at the airport and get through security checkpoints
All shuttles are on a first come first serve basis. All reservations must be made within three business days of the reservation. If the student does not show for the reservation, the student shall forfeit all fees. The shuttles are on a set schedule. If your flight is delayed, it will be the responsibility of the student to find alternative transportation.
