AIRPORT PICKUP

During the summer, the Graduate Student Government hosts a shuttle service to escort students from Dulles International Airport to campus. The dates of this service are typically early to mid-August. 

​

This year the Graduate Student Government (GSG) and Yuva have teamed up to bring you the  International Student Shuttle from Dulles International Airport (IAD) in Virginia to College Park, Maryland. We have created  a preliminary schedule of shuttle dates and times, but the schedule is flexible and based on demand. If you will be flying to Dulles International Airport (IAD) later this summer on your way to College Park, MD please fill out this RSVP so that we can help you with transportation:

We will be in contact with you to confirm the dates and times of the shuttles as well as to get information about your flights. If you have any questions please contact gsg-office@umd.edu.

 As a reminder, this service is available to ALL UMD Students.
