Airport Shuttle
Denison is providing free shuttle service from John Glenn International Airport (CMH) to campus on January 28 & 29 only. Shuttles are offered every hours fro 8 a.m. to 7 p.n.
Please sign up for the shuttle that will arrive closest to your scheduled Move-In time. All reservations will be verified with Housing. If your flight arrives several hours prior to your Move-in time, we ask that you remain in the airport and continue to wear your face mask, and remain at least six feet away from others until the time of your shuttle and subsequent Move-in.
Shuttles are only being offered from the airport. If you arrive to Columbus via a bus, you will need to find a ride to the airport to catch the shuttles.
If you need an airport shuttle outside of these times or have questions, please contact:
