Fall 2026 - Arrive in ̽Ƶ Claire
In order to attend the required international student orientation week, plan to arrive in ̽Ƶ Claire by Monday, August 24. You will have access to your residence hall beginning Monday, August 24, at 8 AM.
Route options for international flights include the following.
- The closest major airport to ̽Ƶ Claire is Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP). To reach the city of ̽Ƶ Claire from MSP, you will need to reserve a seat in advance on the MSP (90-minute shuttle ride).
- If your airline codeshares with United Airlines, it is also possible to fly into the local (i.e. very small) EAU airport in ̽Ƶ Claire via Chicago O’Hare (ORD). There is no convenient ground transportation between Chicago and ̽Ƶ Claire, so make sure to book the connecting flight to EAU if you choose to fly into ORD.
If you arrive in ̽Ƶ Claire via one of the above methods on August 24 university sponsored transportation is available by advanced registration between 11 AM and 11 PM (only). Outside of this 12-hour arrival window you will need to use a ride-share service such as Uber or Lyft or a taxi service upon your arrival in ̽Ƶ Claire to get to the UW-̽Ƶ Claire campus. Be prepared to give the driver the street address of your residence hall.
The university is only able to offer arrival day transportation within ̽Ƶ Claire. We are not able to offer transportation from MSP or ORD. We are not able to offer transportation on days other than August 24.
Once you have booked your flight, please complete our no later than August 15. The form is also how you will request transportation to campus from university staff, if eligible.
Spring 2027 arrival details coming in September 2026.
