WRISTBANDS
Wristbands are required to ride SD Charter shuttles to SIO, receive a towel and lunch, and partake in sponsored activities. Wristbands are on a first-come, first-served basis. Below are the dates and times we will be handing out wristbands — while supplies last.
To pick up your wristband, check in at our distribution sites at RIMAC Field and Main Gym, and have your student ID with you. Wristbands are for first-year undergraduate, graduate, and transfer students only. (Extension students are not eligible to receive a wristband.) We will scan your ID, and upon confirmation, place a wristband on you. Wristbands are only valid for one per individual. Again, wristbands will be placed on when you arrive at our pick-up locations and cannot be replaced if broken or altered.
Distribution locations (while supplies last):
-
- Wednesday, Sept. 23, 3:00pm to 5:30 pm, RIMAC Field
- Thursday, Sept. 24, 10am to 5pm, Main Gym
- Friday, Sept. 25, 11 am to 5 pm, Main Gym
SHUTTLES
The first shuttle will leave around 9:50 am, and the last shuttle leaving the event site will be at 4:30 pm.
We will monitor wristbands before you are allowed on the shuttles. Shuttle stops will be west of Sixth College between Muir and Scholars Lane.
