Students are expected to take their final examinations at the scheduled times and will not have their schedules changed because of transportation difficulties.

If a student will miss class due to a shuttle, they must make arrangements with the professor. The shuttles are scheduled to accommodate the largest number of students, but may leave campus before a break has officially started.

If a student needs transportation at an unscheduled time the request MUST be made 2 weeks in advance of travel and cannot be guaranteed. The cost for one way unscheduled trips are doubled.



Transportation payment must be received prior to departure or within one week of returning to campus. The Student Activities & Orientation Office reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for failure to provide payment.



After the reservation deadline, an additional $5 charge will be added to the shuttle cost. If a shuttle is cancelled after the reservation deadline the passenger will only be charged 50% of the cost (or charged 50% if no payment has been received).



Within 72 hours of the shuttle, an additional $10 charge will be added to the shuttle cost. If a shuttle is cancelled within this time (or if the passenger does not show) the full cost will still be charged.
