To reserve a seat on a shuttle for all shuttles besides the initial freshmen shuttle please go to: https://wyomingcatholic.edu/fee-payment/. Individual emails to or in-person conversations with Student Life staff will unfortunately not be accepted as reservation requests as we want to make sure all relevant flight details are obtained and stored in an efficient manner. Using the fee payment page also ensures that the shuttle is paid for ahead of time and prevents Student Life staff from having to track down students after the fact.
If you do not receive a written acknowledgment of receipt from a Student Life staff member in addition to the autogenerated receipt, please reach out via email to see if the reservation request was received; in the absence of a reply from one of us, a student may not necessarily have a spot reserved.
For the initial freshman shuttle, please use the travel form that is sent out via email by our registrar. Please also note that for any parent who is accompanying their child on the freshmen shuttle to Lander, there is no return shuttle to the airport for parents. For questions regarding the Freshmen Shuttle on July 24th, please email Shuttle@wyomingcatholic.edu
Regarding deadlines, Salt Lake City Airport shuttle requests must be made at least two months in advance of the scheduled shuttle date. For Riverton Airport shuttle requests, we need to receive the reservation request from the fee payment page at least a week in advance, and we can take a student to or from the airport on any day (except for Nov. 1st, Nov. 23rd, Dec. 8th, Dec. 18th through Jan. 3rd, and March 29th through 31st). After deadlines pass, refunds are also not issued.
For Salt Lake City Airport shuttles, a spot costs $60. For Riverton Airport shuttles, they are free if students are not missing any class days as a result of their traveling. If one is planning on missing any class days, the student should make arrangements with their professors and the Academic Dean in addition to scheduling a shuttle, which will cost $20, via the fee payment page.
Because we have a contract with a bus company to run our Salt Lake City shuttles at a specific time, all students' Salt Lake City departure flights must take off after noon, and arrival flights must land by 4:00pm. This gives the students enough time after getting to the airport by 10:00am to make it through security as per the recommendation of the Transporation Security Administration (TSA) or gives them enough time to obtain their checked bags and get on the bus, which will depart for Lander at 5:00pm. If a student chooses to risk landing a little before or after the timeframe just given, that is their choice, but the college will not make special accommodations and is not responsible if the student misses the flight. If an airline reschedules a flight and it no longer fits the aforementioned timeframe, please contact the Student Life staff immediately. Given the size and proximity of the Riverton airport, Riverton Airport departure and arrival flights have no time restrictions if one wants to obtain a shuttle.
As much as we would like to offer shuttles to non-students, we do not offer shuttles to non-students; the only exception is the initial freshman shuttle.
In the days prior to the Salt Lake City pick-up shuttles, only students will receive more detailed communications regarding where to meet everyone and where to go for the pick-up.
While the college does not run shuttles to or from Denver, Casper, Jackson Hole, or any other airports, students often carpool in personal vehicles to one of these airports; if a student wants to drive to and fly out of one of these airports but does not have their own car, they should ask other students to see if such a plan is feasible. If a private plan falls through, it is not the college's responsibility to give students a seat on one of the other scheduled shuttles.
