Arrival and Departure Days and Times
Students arrive on July 3 and depart on July 16.
All students must plan to arrive in Colorado Springs by 3:00 pm, whether driving or flying. This allows ample time for registration, check in, move in and a campus tour before dinner at 5:30 pm. Orientation and the first lab session are immediately after dinner. Colorado College allows students to move into dormitory rooms at 10:00 am.
On departure day, shuttles from Colorado College begin at 4 am. The last shuttle from Colorado College will leave at 10 am. Students booking flights that depart after 10am will not be supervised by NSD staff at the airport.
Traveling by Airplane

Staff will be wearing NSD t-shirts. Colorado College provides transportation to and from the airport by means of Colorado College buses and drivers. See Arrival and Departure Days and Times above for required arrival and departure times to assist you in scheduling flights.
Departure times for the airport will be posted in Loomis Residence Hall the day before and morning of departure days.
If a student schedules a flight to arrive after 3:00 pm, the NSD transportation service will not be available and the student must take a taxi to Colorado College at his or her own expense.
