  5. Shuttle departure times from campus will vary depending on request locations, number of student requests that day, time of requests and availability of drivers and vehicles.
  6. Students should make sure to indicate the amount of luggage they plan to transport with them on the ride request form if it is a large amount.
  7. Students will receive a confirmation email to their Waldorf email confirming ride time, dates and arrangements prior to the ride date.
