Airport Pickup Information
The GSG has arranged for a shuttle to pick up graduate students from Dulles International Airport (IAD) between August 3rd and 12th, 2009. The times at which the shuttle bus will come by will be decided by the responses that the GSG receives. If there are not enough people on a given day, the shuttle will not run to Dulles. On those days, it might be possible to send the shuttle instead the Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) or the Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI). For this reason, we are providing two forms: one for a requesting a pick up from Dulles (IAD) and one for requesting a pickup from the other two airports.
Important!
The GSG will email students if a shuttle will be available to pick them up from the airport on their requested day. If you do not receive an email confirming a pickup by GSG, then there will be no shuttle bus waiting for you. Unless contacted, assume that you are responsible for your own transportation.
Required Documents
Please bring a your graduate student ID, an acceptance letter to the University, or an I-20 form as proof of your identity and status at the University of Maryland. The shuttle will only stop once on campus at the University --- you are required to provide your own transportation from the University to your place of lodging.
Sponsorship
This program is sponsored by the Graduate School, Graduate Student Life, the Office of International Programs and the Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs.
